If you're confused about the 'C' rating - 1C is the equivalent of 1x the pack capacity. i.e. 1C for a 3200mAh = 3.2A whereas 1C for a 5000mAh pack is 5A.

important, sound advice
when running LIPO, you have to let go of all the nicad/nimh charge at a zillion amps then discharge voodoo crap. there's no need to use higher charge rates - the punch is the same at 1 amp or 3.
you can't go wrong with any of the trakpower cells - i've been totally blown away by the consistent performance, silly run times - 10+ minutes with a 6.5r in my b44? using the 3200 saddle packs - and no signs of dumping? bonkers!
