Added weight aside, is it better to do a pair of 6-7k mah 3s batteries (that I could use in my Vorteks too) or get a big ol' honkin' 6s?

I have 3s (gens 5000mah) and 6s (hrb) packs for my arrmas, the good thing is if one cel goes down on a 3s, the battery is cheaper to replace, but, charge one and plug one, is really nice too, weight related there is not much difference around 30g. Lately I use more my 6s's
No need to rise posts man, with gensacearespammers (3s 5000mah 50c) they fit great on my Typhon 6s and well balancedIt's all preference. I'd go with dual packs as you said you have a 3s rig just mark like A and B on them so you can rotate them and try to use evenly so one doesn't get used more and cause it to get weak while running as 6s. It's easier to run a single 6s pack in the 6s rigs but like I said it would make sense to get dual in your case so your able to use on both rigs as long as your not running in a 6s Typhon lol as you'll have to raise the rear body posts to even fit the dual packs.
Ya maybe with smaller soft packs but anything else won't fit trust me I own a Typhon and even to fit a 6500mAh 6s soft pack I had to raise my posts.No need to rise posts man, with gensacearespammers (3s 5000mah 50c) they fit great on my Typhon 6s and well balanced
Check the internal resistance (IR), temperature when charging, that should give you a good idea of the status in those packsI didn't think about the mismatched packs, thanks for that. I currently have two packs that were purchased the same date about three weeks ago, but I don't know how they were treated. I know the charger that they were used with was junk, I just started using a better charger to actively store them.
That's asking for problems, both packs should be same age, mAh and C rating.I'm running different age packs with no problems. I always review how many mah got pumped into each pack when charging back to storage voltage and also look at each cell's voltage before and during the charge. Every now and then I also check the internal resistance. If things get too far off from the others, it's time for a new one and assign the old one to the crawler or the kid's slash.

How do you check the IR?

I have this one, which makes no reference to IR...I presume it doesn't have that.
