| lipo battery ?
new to the lipo scene, please help. i have a 3c 5200mah lipo battery, in my 2.2. i was wondering if a smaller 3c 1350mah lipo would give me the same power and punch but with shorter run times and less weight??, or would the power be diff to??? i also have a 2c 5200mah lipo, would i see a diff in the 2.2 compared to the 3c 5200mah? |

Usually bigger batteries are rated for a higher continuous draw (say 30c-40c) than the small packs (13c-30c). So yes the bigger one gives more punch, but in a crawler I doubt we use more that 30C continuous. If you look at most comp builds, you will see a trend of small, light weight 1500-2000mah batteries. If its popular for everyone else then its probably fine for you too. Although you would definatelly get lower run times with a smaller mAh battery but the benefit of the weigh savings will outweigh that.
