DON'T DO IT!!! They aren't the same mah! The 5000mah will die before the 5200mah and you will go below 3V/cell on the 5000's before the 5200 hit the cut off, you risk destroying your lipos!

Just set the cut-off to a higher and safe number like 3.4v and it will be fine. That small 200mah difference isn't a big deal.

If you want to risk your lipos, esc, truck, and possibly life thats up to you.

Don't be so over-dramatic. Batteries in series see the same current. They will discharge at the same rate. If you run the batteries down to 0 mah left you were running them dangerously low to begin with.
