I have been doin nothin but research this for the last few weeks
I'm gonna give it a whirl
Tell me if I got it right fellas.
It appears that it is smarter (performs better)to go with the LIPO's (Kokams) that have the highest "C" rating or ability to release there voltage at the highest current rate and then add another set of them in parallel to get the longer MAH rating.....for instance...... you can get a group of cells from polyquest that each cell has a rating of 6000 mah.....the high MAH was the most significant factor in battery selection before ........but these polyquest cells only have the ability to release there stored voltage at a discharge rate of 15 to 18 "C" which will be significantly less amperage to your motor than a KOKAM 3200 mah 20 "C" pack. They both will deliver the voltage..but the one with the highest "C" rating will get you the more "UUUMPPPPHH"
so now in order to match the polyquest 6000mah rating or its ability to retain its charge and voltage for longer run times you just add another set of KOKAM's in parallel and that will give you the 6400mah run time at the higher amperage "C" rating.

So for right now KOKAM 3200's in their SUPER HIGH DISCHARGE class or 20 "C" are the cell that is on top

Close??? right????
