We only race for 5 to 6 minutes depending on where you race. I just ensure my batteries are fully charged and change them over regularly, as I believe newer packs have higher voltage.

I prefer my mini Lipo packs to have Deans plugs fitted, so I do not reverse the battery wires and BIP my ESC....

Just my thoughts.

I actually just want to find the plug style batteries to get rid of the body bulge from ones that have the wires coming out the end. C rating isn't important.
