No need to swap them during a race. I charge once before the race. Usually only using max 300 or so. That kind of draw is big sometimes because i forget to turn boat off between heats. Usually it is in the 200 range. Always good to have extra.

Use LIFE packs
1100-1500 is enough for racing. I mostly use 1100 on bigger boats.

I’ve used 700 Life packs for my small boats and 900 for the big boats. Now I am thinking I need more, but it’s worked for years…

I use 800-1000 mAh LiFe in my nitro boats and 1500 mAh LiFe in my gas boats. Never had any problems.

I use fantom Marine series 900 life packs, usually after a day of racing I recharge it and it only takes about 150 milliamps to recharge it so I know 900 would be enough to go a full weekend of racing

I use 1700 life packs just because that's the only size I have.
I have flat and cube sizes depending on how big the radio box is.
All day of racing and they take about 300 ma to recharge.
Life packs don't need hv servos
