Danny, you're saying that happened at this year's or last years Novak Race?

The thing that some people may not realize though is that while they may not use all the runtime, you need to look at the voltage throughout the entire discharge curve. For example, 2 packs, one labeled 1.180 @ 400 and another with 1.184 @ 385. While the 1.184 may look like the better pack, the 1.180 may have a higher average voltage over a 5 minute curve (I don't know if I explained that well or not). While I haven't really looked at them yet, I think this is the theory behind the Real Time packs from Reedy.

So while the cells with more than 3300MAH may not have voltage on the labels that looks as good as the current GP's, the "usuable" voltage could potentially be higher.
