Just to give you an idea on weight - I run an XB8EC with a 1515/3D at the moment and have run it with both a 6S 2600mAh pack (410 grams) and a 6S 4450mAh pack (676 grams).

Running the two packs back to back with the same gearing, tires, surface and type of driving for 15 minutes.

The 2600mAh pack took back ~1700mAh when charged.
The 4450mAh pack took closer to ~2250mAh when charged.

Proving that even though, yes, a bigger pack gives you more run time - it is definitely a law of diminishing returns.
