There is no such rating above 60C continues at this present time and most are 30-40C labelled 65C-70C for marketing reasons all nonsense.
The best way to find out is to ask for a test sheet from the supplier or factory then you will know the truth about the over inflated c ratings.

Personally I prefer 40C packs... I don't like the drop off I feel with higher c-ratings.

Just about every single battery on the market now lists a C rating that is physically impossible without using power wires as thick as your thumb, like we are expected to ignore reality and believe an Orion battery can push 540 amps?.
I'm actually starting to feel insulted by companies pushing such claims, enough is enough, start doing real testing and 'prove' your battery can push whatever C rating you claim it can, because until then it's real hard to recommend any battery brand that lies to it's customers.

I would not overlook your esc and motor choice if you are looking for quicker laptimes, or how your existing motor/esc is setup.
Maybe you have that covered already, just looking at the whole picture...
Just like power is nothing without control.

IMO there is a point where reality turns into fantasy with C ratings on packs, you just need to understand where that is and what manufacturer you can trust.
I seem to have plenty of power with a Turnigy pack, its not holding me back in the slightest and did not hurt my pocket much either.

I run out of road quick where I race with a 13.5 redline, but if the duo 3 is working for you, then great
