a 21.5 will have plenty left after 8 minutes even with a 4200 pack, I ran 8 minutes with a shorty 4,000 pack with my old GZ2 with not that much drop on voltage , with the same car with a 5,000 shorty pack ran 6 minutes with a 5.5t motor. In 21.5 is all in the mind if you need a high capacity pack I go by the lap times of I don’t see a drop on the last minute or so of the run in the lap times then I don’t worry about voltage .
