Essentially yes.

Nit picking pet peeve semantics perhaps, but the load doesn’t pull from the battery, the battery voltage does indeed drive the load. A higher voltage drives harder, pushes more current. And it’s a squared function from voltage to power so apparently small voltage differences can be fairly significant in terms of power.

Yeah it is true that in stock class batteries do mean alot.

Also, hobby partz has 35c 2 cell lipos for $35 ea.
Yes, based on everything I have seen both in bench testing and on the race track, TP clearly provides better performance than MA. Both have solid support reps.

There are many other batteries that approach, perhaps even match the TP for performance, but none have been proven to actually be better that I am aware of. Not claiming perfection, they can be messed up just like any lipo though. Note I don’t own any TP, just my observations and research.

Some will disagree, that’s natural. Most all newer lipos are incredible batteries compared to what we had before!
