yup Gavin's right
The "C" rating indicates the maximum safe current you can pull out of a battery.
Simply take the mAh size (2100 mAh, for example), and divide by 1000 that gives you the AMP-HOUR size of the battery. So, a 2100 mAh LiPo is a 2.1 Ah LiPo.
Then, take the "C" rating of your LiPo, and multiply it by the Amp-Hour (Ah) size of the LiPo so a "20C" 2.1 Ah LiPo would result in a 42 AMP maximum current draw from the LiPo.
The higher MAH rating of a pack ie 4000 or 5000 the longer the runtime. To charge a lipo you need a specific lipo charger ie you can't use a standard nimh one. To run lipos you must have an esc that supports LVC (low voltage cutoff) as if lipo packs are allowed to run to low they will become damaged.
