[QUOTE=lincpimp;386856]C rating matters... Higher c rating should indicated lower internal resistance. If that low resistance is there and remains the pack will have a long life and produce good power. The internal resisatnace tends to go up as a battery ages (goes thru cycles) and the higher the resistance the lewss power the batt will produce. So going with the highest c rated pack (as long as it is true) will have the lowest internal resistance and hopefully last that way. Plus if you paln to run a certain output (watts) a higher c rated battery will have more headroom than a lower on will, and should perform better and not be pushed as hard, and last longer.

So C rating matters. I would rather run a 1000c battery than a 10c if all other factors (weight, size, etc) were the same.[/QUOTE

In an ideal world where there is a standard for C rating it would matter, but right now anyone can claim anything. C rating between manufacturers is almost meaningless. You cant compare a 40C ebay brand lipo with a 10C truerc lipo. The 10C truerc battery will blow it away. I think we are both on the same page when you say, "as long as it is true". I think manufacturers have a different idea of what "continuous" means, even though it seems pretty clear to me what continuous means.
