Hi Peetbee, the 4800's should fit fine then, the most you'll have to do is lift the cell posts with some washers and longer screws - if atall.

The 4800 does have longer runtime, but that really is not a factor as a pack only needs to last 6 minutes at the very most. The main thing with the 4800 is that it will have more punch as per the calculations below:

1C of 4800mah = 4.8
therefore 25C of 4800mah = 120 Continuous amps
20C of 4800 = 96 Continuous amps

20C 3200 = 64 Continuous amps.

I can't recall if the 4800 is 20C or 25C, but I do know the 3200 is 20C. As you can see, the 4800 will give more ampage than the smaller packs whicher C racing, and therefore you are likely to have more power than you'll need. When i run the high capacity packs I do motor down to a 7.5R Novak and the cars are as quick as 5.5R Novak when with cells.
