Point is battery with higher C rating is better in term of punch. For example if you are running a 5 min heat. This give u the definate advantage cause u can accelerate faster.
For example 35C has more punch than 30C. However if you are into bashing & runtime is your primary concern. You gain more with lower C rating. It all depends on your requirements.
Simple concept is how fast you empty a bucket of water (capacity in mAH). If you have the same bucket with different pouring rate (C).

I am using Team Orion 3800mAH with 30C. So far so good I am happy with it. The dealer recommends me to try TrekPower as they are yet to have order for the other Orion battery I needed. So I take their word for it.
As for TrekPower 4900 battery. I do not recommend buying as the retail price is RM400 above a piece. Although the capacity stated 4900mAH you can charge to 4400mAH. The battery is prone to expand. Symptom is it heats up more than other LiPo.
One time I notice it was pregnent. I did open it up smoke came out & I throw it far away. At least it did not explode & luckily I did not charge it. You may burn your house down with this LiPo

I have personally used Polyquest, Flightpower and ThunderPower lipos with good experience. I have used Zippy as well but it was abad invesment.
I managed to clock over 60 cycles with Polyquest and Flightpower with proper care.
30C burst is a norm nowadays.

As for Hyperion I no idea how it works. The rest can give their opinion.
Just for your reminder, there are lots of Bantam BC6 immitations in the market. The original one has 8 pin balancer port to do this.

yup, lots of bantam imitation. everything looks exactly the same.
to contribute to the thread, IP3800 35C takes my vote! no doubt it only last <15mins on 11.5 but the 1st 10mins has great punch! Definitely this is due to the 35C rating as other lipos that i have are 20C or 25C. Word of advise, C rating is not a standized rating system so its up to the manufacturer to state how many C. So buy reputable brands...
