I'm not an expert in the area; I'm just repeating what I've learned from others and from my ESC manufacturer.
Sure a 3200 mah 20C will be enough to complete a race. But will it be optimal? It probably won't deliver as much current as your system would want to have and will probably be quite warm (even maybe hot) afterwards... I just figure, for just a bit more, why not go for a more suitable Lipo?
Just my 0.02$ Take it for what it's worth and have fun whatever you decide!
