i noticed some of the test videos spec'd 5s (5s 3200mah), i see that TP has their 3300mah 5s weighing in at 442g which should perform similarly.

i have a couple of 20C 5s 4000mah packs sitting on my desk unused. i was thinking of using them on a 500. i just weighed them at 481g. how much do you think the extra 40g will affect flight?

i know it will fly. but, how much snappiness will it likely absorb in tictocs and other high-g direction changes?

just curious if they'll work since i have them already.

Here's a video (http://www.trextuning.com/blog/?page_id=159) of a Trex 500 flying on a 6S 4200mAH pack. I'd try the 5S 4000 packs if I had them lying around. Likely a 17T pinion with the 1600kV 500L motor.
