+1 for the xl can

I have a few of each and have run a xl can in a buggy. The 9 or 10xl will work well on 5s, and depending on your gearing and mph requirements, the current draw should stay below 75amp. Keeping the heat down on the system will help the draw stay lower too. The l cans are too small for a heavier 4wd vehicle IMO. I have had success with l cans in 10th scale 4wd and 2wd emaxx trucks, but the added load of 4wd and a heavier vehicle will need a xl can to run coolish. I am basing this on a desired temperature, which is lower than some people run. I have heard that a 15l feigao is a good motor to run on 5 or 6s.
