Thanks for the info, that PDF will come in handy.

I am currently running the RX8 w/2250 truggy motor on hyperion 4S 5000mah 25C and 35C batteries. Can't finish a 15 minute main right now. My last attempt ended at the 14 minute mark due to low voltage. My lipo was a little puffy, but went back down to normal after it cooled. 5 to 10 minute runs usually end in very acceptable temps across the board.

I am debating on either a 6S 4000mah setup with a 1350kv or 1580kv motor or a continue the current setup but with a 6900 mah 4S battery. The puffy lipo has me thinking about dropping the 4S altogether, I mean, this truggy is pretty heavy to begin with.

Also thinking of switching back to an MMM if I go 6S. Just had an RX8 go bad in my buggy with nowhere near the demands this truggy requires. 6S may be pushing it.
