Theres still too many problems with the way manufactures rate lipos. 3200mah 15C batteries should be good for 48 amps continuous. To me, That means you should be able to pull 48 amps continuously during the run, sometimes more, sometimes less but an average of 48 amps. Thats a lot of amps and I can guarantee that most runs wont even come close. Even though I agree that they wont work, the math says it does and I think its the lipo manufactures are the ones at fault for improperly rating their lipos. I have learned , not thru math but trial and error, to always buy more battery than I need, but I still dont understand why we have to. It wasnt until I bought a wattmeter that I finally understood that 15C really means 5C to most manufactures.
