The current available from the batteries is the product of the C-rating and capacity (in Ah not mAh):

30 x 5 = 150A
40 x 2.65 = 106A

So the smaller capacity pack will feel more sluggish.

I think that's right!

I dont understand how its possible but the car seemed to have less power with the smaller batteries? The batteries are a higher rating 40c over 30c so its weird

5000mah Zippy 5S 30C Vs 2650mah Zippy 5S 40C can that be explained or did I imagine it? I was on Astro after being on dirt previously but I through the 5000mah pack in for the final as I had no one to change batteries at a pit stop and it def seemed quicker and I posted faster lap times?

Hmm
