lee last line, spot on, apart from allowing lipo as BRCA TC have

Well in off road you'll not be as hard on the cells as we are in TC so I shouldn't think you'll see any issues with battery life. Even if you used a 4.5 instead of a 5.5 you'll still have plenty of runtime so amp draw won't be too bad. With a 4.5 in TC you can gun it for a whole run and still have some runtime left at the end of a run.
