I've got 5200mah packs and 6600mah packs, even some 4200mah shorty packs too.
Is this something to worry about? I want to buy new packs so I need to figure out what a good capacity or weight to shoot for is.
That all depends on how much your electronics weigh.
Put in your 5200 and see if the car is a little heavy on the electronics side or not.
Add weight on the battery side to make it balanced and then weigh the pack and weights together to see what to shoot for. If the battery side is heavy at first, use a lighter pack and add weight to make it balanced. And so on...
Now depending on what class you are running will determine capacity and "C" rating requirements.
