In the end, they will perform about the same, but the deadshorted pack will have less runtime. Also, with the integy tray, the pack isnt truly equalized until deadshort. The tekin tray is the same way, its not really equalized until they all get down to the .5 cutoff, which is still not good.
Thanks, I'll have to look into doing it the right way for the 1/18 pan class. That's about the only thing I run without LiPo.
