4s setups in Mt are really not such a great idea. 5-6s works much better and open up battery choice quite a bit. Plus the lower kv (1500-1600) motors do run cooler with the same over gearing than 4s does.
It gets interesting when you have an erevo and an emaxx with 2200Kv and 8xl respectively. the same batts dont fit in both trucks. i am shooting for
30-45 mins of cool running racing. i have found that in the erevo with the 2200 on 6S zippys nothing is getting hot now after 30 mins FINALLY a setup that is perfect.

For the emaxx the 8400's run great and the weight is fine and they have a 3 year warranty if they puff. this is the first maxamps battery ive run in the maxx that didnt get very warm and puff. well see how they last over time.

i was just surprised to see the well regarded neu get pretty warm - i thought they would run cool. hopefully this wont end their life early. i can also run them in the revo.
