Im not really experienced in this type of stuff, but I will tell you have I have noticed, and what I want as a buyer.

1. My Orion packs are 418rt with 1.172av. These were purchased through HobbyX.

2. I personally would prefer voltage over runtime, but in saying that, I wouldn't a extreme voltage pack with no runtime. I would prefer a balance between voltage and runtime, or a little more voltage at a sacrifice of a little runtime.

3. To be honest, I can only really notice the difference between new cells and old ones. I had some older Team Orion race packs, and some 1st gen GP's from Yok (numbers like 390rt with 1.14av) and I cannot tell the difference in feel or lap times..

Hope any of that helps
