I use 2800-3000 mah in a Master class schedule.  I use a Himax F3A motor turning an APC 20.5x14 prop in my Vanquish

>>>I own two different types of Zippy lipo packs, all 5000mAH, 5S, 25C. I have 4 older copies of the "regular" pack, 4 copies of the Zippy Compact , and 2 new copies of the regular pack.  I was getting the newest set ready to use and noticed they seemed heavier than the older packs.  I compared them, and found the new packs to be made up of slightly thicker cells and the wires were heavier gauge. I weighed them all, and these are the results:
