I'm looking at 3-4s lipo packs for a car I'm building and just wondering what the recommended mAh is for a drag car?
I'll be using the pack with a Mamba Pro(probably a 5700kV). In a Walbern pro stock and a TC4 touring car.(Not sure if weight makes a difference when choosing)
Thanks.

MAH is not important for drag racing. MAH is basically how much run time the battery has. The higher the MAH the more run time. You want to look at the C rating which is the burst rating, higher the better.

I wasn't sure if the mAh and amperage were directly related. I know on the NiMH packs, the higher the mAh the more amperage they could put out.
I'm going with a 40C Thunder Power more than likely.
Another question: Is 4s too much voltage/RPM for a 5700kV motor?
