I've run my Flux in several situations where it should have put quite a load on my packs and I've had no issues.

I've run it across low grass on 6S with Badlands on it (53mph on GPS even).
I've run it on a track on 4S and 5S packs with LPR Crimefighters on it.
I've run it on a beach on 5S with big ass Losi 420 Sand Wedges on it.

I have not had a single heat issue with any of my power system components in any of those situations. I run the stock 20T pinion and packs are as follows:

2 X 2S 25C Enerland 5100mAh Hard Case Packs
2S + 3S 25C Thunder Power 5000mAh Packs
3S + 3S 25C Neu 4900mAh Packs

Based on my experiences, I'd just simply say ditch the SMC packs and buy something better. I've seen numerous posts on RCtech lately about puffing SMC packs or disconnected balance tap wires. That's enough for me to stay the heck away from buying them. If I were to go buy any new packs for my Flux right now, they'd be Hyperion G3's without a doubt.
