Battery numbers
I'm thinking about getting into the hobby and I have a question about the numbers on lithium batteries. What does 4000mAh or 5000mAh mean? Does it mean that the 5000 will last longer and the motor will go faster?

Think of it as the amount of electricity stored in the battery.
The higher the number the longer the run time.
Dont count on a higher mAh rateing makeing your car faster.
Even though a higher rateing usually gives a little more punch.

as the others said, it's capacity. think of it as how far you can go or like how large a gas tank is in a real car. a car with a 20 gallon tank will be able to travel farther than a car with a 15 gallon tank, while a RC car with a 5000mah pack wil be able to go farther (or run longer) than a RC car with a 4000mah pack.
