On the Li-Po capacity limit I’d say leave it opens for right now. I am running 3600 Orion and I am looking for 1 or 2 more packs but I have the heck of the time finding one. Most shop don't re stock them any more or have to special order at the MSRP if I really want one that bad.
The next thing I can find and fit my car(s) and wiring is Orion 4800 or Trakpower 4900. I believe 4 months from now we may have a hard time to find anything below 4600 at a reasonable price if we can find one since people will make only the high capacity. The rest may not be ROAR approved packs.
If 2 of my 3600 dies before the race in August I will be in the scramble mode try to find the pack that fit and capacity that will meets the limit.
SMC has 4000 on the shelf but the wiring came out the wrong side of the pack. I don’t know about the others I will have a heck of the time re wiring my car every time I put the pack from difference manufacturers or matchers on the car 2 or 3 times a day
I wish they standardized the hard case just like they do on AA cells so I can just buy it off of the shelf regardless of what brand it is.
Beside limiting the Li-Po capacity probably won’t make any different whether 3600 or 4600 pack. If you want to gear your motor to 350 degrees just cuz you have 5000 pack, be my guest.
I ran 13.5 last week at the C I’m only missing about 1800mah after 5 min race and I hit stuffs during the run. It's a myth, size doesn't matter
Just my 2 pennies.
