if you have a charger with an adjustable delta peak then just set it 1/6th lower than with your 6 cell pack. (per pack delta peak)

if your charger deltra peak setting is per cell then it *should* not need changing.

What impact does it have on receivers, and servo's (eg servo speed/torque)?

Or is this only affected below 6v, so fine with either 5 or 6 cells?

So a 5 cell will have same duration but less speed, which can be got round by having a faster motor (which will lower duration again!)? Does anyone know how that balance ends up, eg net win or loss!?

On a techy note, how do the chargers cope with 5 cells, does the voltage change throw them out of whack? ie I have an orion advantage charger!?

the tc boys dump on big tracks, but off road does not seem to be a capacity class
