Reedy chose to use the 3.5mm plug because it allowed us to make a lower profile battery. I know first hand how hard it is to get the wiring under todays hot 12th bodies. Also most 12th scales are pretty low current draw so we aren't giving up any performance with the smaller pin.

You'll never know the difference between 4600 or 4900 mah. Especially if you are only running spec classes.
