You need a good 5% buffer when racing, after a couple months of racing your pack will start to hit LVC's with less mAH run through it and then where will you be? If you want to fix this you need to think longer term iMO. That is unless you can get lipo's for 20.00 a pop or have more money than god in that case hook me up!
A good 4s 25c to 30c 5000mAH will easily last that with some buffer so as the pack wears you don't have to replace it as soon. My SMC 28c 5k packs started out taking 5200mAH before hitting LVC and after 3 months of racing are down to about 4850-4900mAH, this is just fact and will happen to all lipo's in all system no matter who makes them. My polyquest (enerland), SMC's, Neu Energy, Maxamps.. they all do the same thing. You will actually be killing those 4k packs even quicker due to taking them down to the bottom that often as well... if you don't send them to LVC every time out they do tend to last longer.
#1 you don't need more than 40mph to win against anyone on any track
#2 4s is more then enough voltage to keep a 1:8 scale in good temps if you have decent equipment.
#3 the 4s 5k packs will last longer every race vs a 5s 4k pack, it may only be 2 minutes but that is often all the buffer you need.
