Well since the packs are parallel, I get twice of everything else except the voltage, so 2650mAhx2 = 5300mAh and 20Cx2=40C. It was the benefit of parallel vs series that made me go this way, because I run parallel 4S 30C 3500mAh packs in my E-Maxx and the packs rarely hit 110F even on a warm day, while the series setup in my E-Revo has been regularly seeing temps of up to 150F at times. I just didn't realise till now that I actually had a viable option for parallel 6S because when I bought my Zippys a 18 months ago there wasn't this big of a selection of packs to choose from.


E-Revo - Mega ACn 22/45/1E MMM 6S
E-Maxx - Feigao 7XL MM 4S
AX10 RTR - Stock :D
Micro-T - Losi LiPo upgrade
Mini LST2 - Discarded. Useless POS.
1/8 Scale Baja Bug - Medusa 36-50-3300 eZrun 60A 3S

No No No! The C rating doesn't double with parallel packs, the capacity does- and therefore the amperage capability, but the effective C rating is the same.

2650 x 20C = 53A

(2650 x 2) x 20C = 106A

So like Neil said those packs are are a bit "light" for the E-Revo. Just watch the temps and make sure they are at the same state of charge/balance when you run.
