I think the weight will be a wash or maybe even an advantage for the 3 cell as I should be able to use a smaller pack? Seems weights are all over the place when it comes to various packs? I saw the calculation somewhere on how to figure the equiv 4 cell vs 6 cell in mah but just taking a swag and looking at hobbyking's softpacks a 6000mah 2cell weighs 423grams vs a 5000 3 cell pack at 404 grams vs a 5000 2 cell pack at 325 grams.
So the difference between your 6000's and if I go with a 5000 would make you .08 of a pound heavier based on a 2 pack setup? If we compare the 5000 2cell vs 3 cell I would be .34 of a pound heavier? Which appears to be about the difference of using a soft vs hard pack setup but may allow a car to make a 8-10 min main?
Of course the next question is will they even fit in the car? Best I can find is someone saying the measurements are 140x50x25.. Can anyone confirm those?
