If I buy a 65c battery for 17.7 Blinky is it a waste of money?

I think that the higher C gives you more up front or at the begining of the race. What your looking for is consistency thru out the run. The best thing to do would be to test..

I don't like racing for 2nd.
I would be racing 65C battery pack.

There are waaaaay better the Gen Ace packs..
Same pricing too...

I was also looking at the Turnigy lipos, but from what I see the 65c packs are not ROAR approved....seems as if the exact same pack being 40 and 50c are ROAR approved. Since I'll be racing this upcoming Aug. in the ROAR nats. in Joliet I'm going to wait until the pack is approved...hopefully soon

Gen ace, turnigy nanotech 40c's will be as good as any 65c lipo in 17.5 blinky, specially when you factor in the low price and low weight of these packs... When you think about it, how did the top racers run mod when the 20c lipos just came out ??? You still don't think a 5000mah 20c can compete in 17.5 blinky !!!! Let alone a 40c......

Mod is sometimes too powerful and weaker batteries are ok. I know a mod driver who intentionally discharged a fully battery pack a little so that power will not be too much. Resulting in better lap times.
But in stock/slow class, best batteries make the difference in my experience.

note- not all 65c packs are created equal. It varies from manufacturer and each model they produce.
Your options are to test all of the packs yourself or just pick what is "fast" and hopefully reliable (will be fast for more than 10-15 charges)
I know my choice
