Dont know about 700mah per race, I use at least 1500-2000 per race though
I do notice the difference between my old 50c pack and the new 60c packs, but there is no difference at all between the 5800 and 6200 packs in performance.
So, it better to use 5800mah for stock and 6200mah for mod race??
Anyone who already use 6200mah can tell if there any different in handling/performance bcs of extra height/weight than the 5800mah in stock/mod race. Can anyone advice me what i need to do to the kits if i buy the 6200mah lipo battery...

I doubt I'll get a heavier battery any time soon, but I have room to move my electronics outboard to cover up to a 320g battery I figure.

The way the progression in RC seems to go, I'd venture to say the current trend for guys running the largest capacity they can for a higher ending voltage to gain any advantage they can find will probably be erased by longer mains.
Aside from 1/12, it wasn't that long ago that every electric class only ran 4min.
Battery capacity has more than doubled since 6 min. became the norm.

If you use 5800mah, need to use ballast to reach minimum weight.. What if i use 6200mah. no need to add ballast to reach minimum weight or it already overweight and need to rebalance it left/right weight?? Minimum weight for touring race in my place around 1400g. (sory for my english
)
