Funny you mention that. I bought 2 6500 60c and 2 7200 70c. I thought the 7200 would give a little longer run time and more punch but I swear the 6500's give longer run times and they feel exactly the same. I didn't notice if the 6500's puffed at all (wasn't looking) but the 7200 definitely puffed slightly and got tight against the case. I'll have to pay better attention the 6500's and see if they do it too. I thought maybe I needed to break them in but after 5 cycles they feel the same. I'm going to have to time them and see what happens.

My Promatch 7200 battery looks slightly puffed after running it outdoors with an Epic 4800 540 4 pole motor. Truck weight 6.8 lbs or so.

I know roar rules, the debates back and forth, yada yada, but it's stupid to be running 2S in these trucks. I'm gonna order a Pro4 HD 3000 and run 3S. I'll switch back for the escale nats and warmup race, but that's it for me running 2S.

Their packing bigger cells in the same case 6500 compared to 7200 also, less room for the 7200 to grow before you notice the case swelling.
If you were able to measure two lipo's cases, same manufacturer 6500 & 7200 (assuming a perfect world) and they both start the same and puff to the same dimensions... the 7200 cells puffed less.

Took TQ last night by a lap. Also took the A-MAIN by a lap.
This kit just gets better every time I wheel it.

- I didn't want to get stuck in "my way's good enough" like I typically do and tried barry's setup to a T and it just doesn't feel as good as my shocks.
No worries. people are just bruce lee-ing it - Using what works regardless of where it comes from

I bought 2 6500 packs and have had no issues. In fact I've had to alter my driving style as these packs have more punch than my nano tech 6600's, so my car is harder to drive!
