When I use that motor on 4s 4900 the most runtime I will get from it is about 12mins. Most of the guys I race with are using about the amount of power as mine, sometimes more.
I used to race 5s 4900mah with the 1515 2.5d, and that would get between 16 and 18min racing.
I haven't done an actual race with 6s in it, but geared to the same speed as my 4 and 5s setups, I would only expect 22 or 23 min.
From all the setups I've used and all the setups I've raced against I just don't see much more than about 25mins possible in a truggy, on 6s 5000, in a race, with a good driver, unless your car is somehow super light or it's geared to be super slow. For bashing sure I could do 30mins plus, but I've always found racing runtime is always less.

Yeah looking at this more and more, it looks like 3S is still the way for me to stay. Maybe just look for larger MAH batts that will fit and keep going.
