RE: LiPo recommendations
We should all be aware by now that batteries advertised as 20C continuous are NOT. Using them at this rate will degrade them in rather short order. I try to say under 8C and get excellent results.
Also vendors advertising their packs as 20C capable know little more about their packs than the beginner sucked in by them. Unfortunately this seems to be the norm with pack vendors, but I expect as people get smarter they are going to have to be a bit more truthful in the products they are peddling.
