NiMh/LiPo mah conversion

Can anybody give a general idea how a 3600mah LiPo compares to a 4200 NiMh in terms of capacity? Will I make time with a 3600 LiPo running mod brushless?

You should make time with no problem. I still use 3300s NIMH and make time with no problem but I have Lipos on the way. People forget that at one time we ran Mod with 1700mah batteries. I think I just told my age.
