I thought the higher C rating would also use up more battery. Like having a bigger garden hose to flow more water. I thought you could pick a C rating that met the requirements of the motor and ESC, anything higher just isn't really needed?

Does that make sense. Like a 25C battery will give more runtime than an equal mAh size 40c.

This may be a lot of repeat information, but this is the first thread I've read that was dedicated to the subject and remained on topic.
