Am I the only one who would like to see better energy density on lipos?

[VintageMA]

Just an opinion - I see thread after thread after thread on the latest 25C and then 30C and then 35C lipos - generally each one weighing a little bit more per mAh unit than the last (ie: Neu 25C for 1000mAh is lighter than Neu 30C for 1000mAh).

I don't think many of us in general are pushing more than 2000 - 2500 watts burst in our trucks and for a 6S 5000mAh that is still under a 25C constant pull rating and and well under the 50C burst rating on 4S for a good solid Enerland based pack.

I would rather see the energy density of lipos getting better at this point rather than get more higher C ratings. It would benefit me/us more at this point to see 6000 or 8000 mAh packs that are the same size and weight as the current 5000mAh cells. This would translate more into better runtime and stronger competition against nitro having packs that could last for 30 - 45 minutes under race conditions.

Anyway - I'm sure some won't agree with this - but hey, just my thoughts.
