Prob 2300-2800mah at a guess.

I normally have about 1800mah left after a run on 4200's, although i have been as low as about 1000 depending on the track conditions. This is a guess, if i remember ill take some readings on the weekend.

similar at ozfest xx4 and a 5.5 nosram brushless 4200 smc ib's brand new ish
we had between 1200 on are worst set to 1700 on are best but it was wet and had big drag

so 3200 or 4800 lipo saddle pack capacities would be fine? the 3200 would be arout 20mm tall and 4800 about 30mm
other dimensions are arount 37mm wide and 70mm long (per bank) and around 80 amp continuos with 120 ish peak amp, sound any good?

im just on with getting prototypes done now, seeing as worksop are allowing them

3200 should be ok 2wd,might be a bit of a push 4wd close to dump,but 4800 would be wicked
