With Nimh there is a difference when charging at different rates but using the same battery. But lip batteries are a different breed and to me, 7.4 is 7.4 with lipo. Yes, they do vary in voltage but most of them act the same when talking about the same voltage. I appreciate the info and I'll mention your replys. The main thing is we're going Lipo here. Yippeeee.
In the stock class I really think you are splitting hairs on something that would make very little if any difference in a 5 minute race. A 5000 mah battery in a 2wd stock truck with a 13.5 would run around 50 minutes and 6000 mah would give around 60 minutes, so for a 5 to 10 minute Stock Truck race I don't see it making a difference unless the lighter weight of the 5000 mah battery might have an advantage over the heavier one.
