Anyone think a 5s 5000 packs are too heavy? In my truggy, I can get 20+ minutes on a 5200 5s pack. I would assume I would get a few more minutes running the same packs in a buggy.
It would be nice if I could use interchangable batteries between these monsters but I don't want my rc8 to be too heavy.
if you use good cells yes. ( neuenergy , polyquest , rcm ) zippy and maxamps will puff. i have had a 5s zippy puff in a 10min main because my lvc was set to 4s....
