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.

True, but smaller batteries will weigh less and still last through the race. Weight reduction in racing is a good thing.
