20c & 25c is the discharge rate. 1c of a 4900mah pack = 4.9amp hour continous discharge
So 20c of a 4900 = (20 x 4.9) 98ah
25c 4900 = 122.5
20c 3200 = 64
25c 3200 = 80
I could be wrong. But the maths is right, basically for 2wd I would choose a 3200mah 20c pack as this gives the lowest discharge rate, therefore the power of the motor is as good as very first charge of very best Nimh packs (controllable with same motor as used with Nimh cells)
Whereas anything such as 25c 4900 (I use these in truck) is completely mad power compared to Nimh, so I run a 7.5R Novak and its still freekin' quick and punchy too.
I hope the manufacturers realise that we require lower C rating, not higher, and don't go to 30C. That'd be bonkers.
