is this 65c battery worth it?

[jebster]

looking to pick up 3 new packs for my comp xr10. I was about to order some packs from cheapbatterypacks (CheapBatteryPacks - Elite 450 11.1V 3S pack) but say someone talking about these high C packs (Turnigy nano-tech 350mah 3S 65~130C Lipo Pack).

if the 65C is accurate i'd be more than willing to spend a couple more buck. anyone had experience with these? looking for some advice. thanks.

It all depends on what motors you're going to run and what course length you plan on riding.
If you're going to run any kind of a handwound motor, say a 35t, I think the 350mah is not going to have enough run time.

I have the 3s and 4s Elite 450mah packs, I would recommend them, highly..
I can run a 5 minute course, with some WICKED motors that love power.

Remember, the 65c just means how fast the pack can supply current (Amps) for a SHORT amount of time.

that is true. I run a pretty tame set of 45s in my rig so I thought the 350mah would be more than enough (usually run off 200 - 250 mah in a typical 6 minute run). I was thinking the 65C would give me more punch.

in my experience youll actually see more noticable power/punch going up 100mah than you will increasing C rating.
id go with the 450s

ok. sounds logical. I think I am close to making a decision.

The current you can pull from pack will be the capacity x the c rating. Take a 4000 mah 25c pack. It will give you 100 amps max. Now, most xr10's pull way less than that. I had 800 mah 40c packs. I had a 450mah 25c that would get very hot and I didn't like to run it. The 800's didn't get hot.
