Remember that the C is the constant current rating - most have a higher 'burst' rating although it can be difficult to find. I have a 5,000mAh which is rated at 20C (100 amps) for continuous discharge and 30C (150 amps) for burst.
This has performed very nicely over the last year but having tried one of the latest higher rated packs then it would be much better to get one of those. Not only can it deliver more power comfortably but will be under less stress.
