I see people racing VTA with 5600mah 50C Lipos, yet these cars never pull more than 30-35 amps from a standing start. A 1000km fuel tank doesn't mean jack if you're only driving to the corner store.
In a way it does make sense, if you got a 5600 lipo only pulling 30-45 amps, you do not need to charge it but one in the day, you can worry about more pressing needs like setup or tires.


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
