thanks Dave, that is exactly what I have felt in my experience also. Within reason, a higher C battery will "feel" more punch than a lower C battery. (Hence the thread overall)

I have run 3200 25C (80 amp) back to back with 3600 20C (72 amp) and could feel a difference in the punch (the 25C packs being years older).

But, I also have some 5400 24C (Older Checkpoints, I think they are 24C) packs that have great punch. Feel as good as my Reedy 35C.

Yes, I mainly run non boosted 17.5, occasionally a 13.5 or VXL motor.
