Tried the Arrma search and google, couldn't find a definitive answer.

I have two 3S 5000mah spektrum batteries, one with a 50C rating, the other with a 100C rating.

Can I use both together to get 6S out of them? Is mixing C ratings a no no? I've read the 50C battery could suffer from voltage sag and even drop under 3.2v per cell?

Any input would be great, thanks in advance
 
Don't do it for the reason you listed. Always use matched pairs i.e. same manufacturer, voltage,mAh and C rating.
Only if you like fireworks lol
Thanks fellas. Guess I'll buy a matching battery. Got these batteries in a package deal, I would not have purchased them if I was looking for a new battery.

The smart battery features are actually pretty cool and I can see if being a noob and not knowing anything about Lipos, this would be a great purchase for safety
