Danz's micro

Hi pplz, I've got some questions for you guys with a setup im wanting to do.

Mrs4, Castle creations 8800kv + ESC, 2 x 3cell lipos, spektrum micro reciever.

Ok so now with the questions.... I noticed its really hard to fit a 3 cell lipo pack in the micro because of the belt (trying to fit inbetween) so I decided I would get 2 smaller packs and put them together (parrallel with the chasis, on the sides), resulting in 11.1volts and higher amperage. This will create more weight which i dont mind that much, cause its the only reasonable way to really do it, and the Centre of gravity will be higher cause the batteries will need to stand up on their sides (standing on its width side). So I've come across a few batteries at www.all-battery.com, unfortunately i cant fit the 100mm ones, well it would be incredibly close if i do, if the wheels morph at high speeds itll rub on the pack.

I'm needing the amperage to be 25amps continuous and 50amps peak. One of my questions is, will it be bad if I go over the continuous rating? It seems that if I don't I can't achieve the peak rating.... So is it going to stuff my esc if I go over or not?

My other question was I can go with ethier a higher C rating, or a higher MAH rating. They both have the ability to produce the amperage I need, but will the one with a higher C rating run out of 'go' faster (less runtime)? But the one with a better C rating will charge faster, so which one is better to go with? Will it pretty much breakeven with runtime and chargetime, like if say I was driving them for 2 hours, will I get back my less run time with the quick recharge?

Hope you guys can give me some answers so I can finally finish off my micro

Cheers
~Danz
