Kraton 8s battery capacity choice

[DMDUK]

Morning,
What capacity batteries do you run in you 8s Kraton?

Thanks.

The more the merrier with that 30+ pounder platform. It is an amp ho with that weight.
I don't believe 5k mah packs cuts it for most with the 8s.
My guess is 8k mah or more. Costly for this capacity. Is what it is.
Much ultimately depends how you geared yours.
Larger capacity lipos also add much more weight. So that may be subjective up to a point.

An amp ho!!! Brilliant.

I have the new Kraton on pre-order so working out which batts to buy.
Thanks for the reply.

I’d say 8000 mAh or bigger otherwise they won’t last long…

I actually like breaks and switch up rigs so I just run 5000 or 6000mAh packs, they work just fine.

Ive noticed that my 4s1p packs are much happier than when I run my 4s2p packs. That being said I like my CNHL 9500s they have no issues.
