I ask danyy with smc and he pointed me in the direction of the 6000mah sportmax 28c. I will be using this for racing stock and 10.5.

my other choices are the smc 5200mah 24c and the thunder power 5000mah 40c.

What one is better? I really dont wanna spend 125 for a battery and thats why smc is looking good.

how many do you think i need? I was thinking 2 so I can rotate them and get more practice and stuff.

Anyone? I am really looking at the smc 5200's right now.

I don't like the external balance plug but you can't beat SMC for quality and value. They will be my next lipo. 5200mah and 28C is perfect.

6000mah Maxamps is heavier too.

I have 6 lipos and only used 3 of them to run 3 classes with 3 qual. plus the main. 12 races on 3 lipos, but I have 2 chargers too.:0
I would say for racing 2 lipos per class would work.

i actually think the 52oo's are 24c, do you think that will make a huge difference?

No - 5200s at 24C is almost 125amps, thats enough to get the job done.

so you guys do think the 5200, 24c will be good for racing? I dont care about the balance plug, it doesnt bother me any.

Yes, it would be a good choice for what you're running.

The 6000 sportmax are amazing

I switched from a 5000 30c intellect to the SMC 5200 24c slowed me down by .4 of sec per avg lap then swapped to the TP 5000 40c and it was the fastest by .3 per avg lap

All with a 17.5

The 6000 is only 10 dollars more than the 5200. I got my 6000 for 85 buck opposed to the 5200 that was 75 bucks.
