Need Help Choosing lipo's

How many Mah should I shoot for to run a 15 Minute Main?

4x4s 2500mah each pack is only $36 and i could get 4 of them.
100a continuous and 150a burst

The 2500mah packs are 123grams less-per pack then the 3600's.so total weight would be:
2x 4s 2500mah- 592g
2x 4s 3600mah- 838g
5s 4000mah- 627g

If you think you can make the 15 min main on the 4000mah 5s I would go with that or maybe take a look at their 5000mah. I would stick with 1 larger battery becuase It simplifies things alot. With one battery you only have one to take on and off the charger, one to balance, and only one to mount to the truck. Trust me I have been doing the dual pack thing for a while now and im switching to a 6s ASAP. Im even more biased toward one large pack now that I use a 0610(your using the 0606 right?) and can only charge one pack at a time.

Im using the Imax B5.
I doubt that the 4k pack will make a 15 minute main.. just no way
1 battery does simplify it but saddle packs would lead to better handling.
Im being told that 4s would be best for the 1y, i run 5s now but am unsure
