Lower C rating on 2p??

[Mattwarner]

Can I get away with a lower c rating, say 20c if I run 6s2p? I have some Turnigy 5000mah 40c 3S packs but have just found some Zippy 6s 4000mah 20c on offer at a good price (same as the 3s packs)

Setup is Genesis 4082 1600kv.

Thanks

higher c rating the better no matter what, at least thats always what i've been told

i would not buy anything under 30c you want to leave some head room and not over tax the batterys if they were 6000 mah maybe 6s2p but 4000 mah at 20c is only 80 amps x2= 160 amps if the batteries can give that much. go with 200 amp minimum

You will be fine in a 2P configuration.
