Those are the guys (like craps) that I was referring to, craps runs a Pletty Extreme, which has a kv in the mid-4000s, and he runs 8000mah, getting about 30mins on the track.

Some of these are cheaper per mah than brand name nickel cells.
That's a very good point. In fact, none of my packs (even my new ones) are rated at more than 10C continuous. Two of my packs (4s 6600mah and 5400mah) are 8C. Two other packs I have are 6000mah 10C (2s by Maxamps) and 6400mah 10C (2s by True RC).
Oh wait, I forgot I have a 4s (12.8v) 3600mah 16C pack that uses Saphion cells :005:.
