I had a 1700 hyperion and it was good for just over an hour in a truggy running 2 15kg aces, the thicker gauge wire and bigger plug still didn't look up to handling the 5C charge so I stuck with 2C
I have no idea what the max discharge would have been when both servos were working there hardest together but i wouldn't think its anywhere near 5 amps?
If you had 2 30kg servos and put them under full load how many amps would they be sucking.

I know that if a LiFe goes a bit puffed they loose alot of capacity and will dump on you even in a 30 minute main

Do you guys balance your packs every time?
does it improve life and run time?
My battery supplier says the main killer these types of pack is running them too low.
