On our smaller indoor track, I think 30 minutes may be possible conservatively geared.

JHautz hit the LVC right just before the end of a 20 minute main (about 20 secs or so to go) in his x-ray with a 5s 5000 pack and the 1515 2.5d. A 6s 5000 might get you pretty close, but I don't think it is going to make it if your drive hard. You can get a 5s 8000 pack, but it will be a serious brick of a battery and your handling might suffer.

I don't think we are going to be able to reasonably do 30 minute mains anytime soon without a battery swap.

So how do the zippy-h's compare to the Neu 25c xp packs? If he is hitting an early LVC a higher "c" rated pack will hold it's voltage a bit longer. Did he get all 5000mAH out of the pack I guess is the real question... before the LVC hit. We have quite a few 20-30min mains and I just wanted to have something that wouldn't require a battery swap.
