I'd just get some 2P 8k Lipo's. I have them and they don't even heat up at all. They are the same temp when I put them in as when I take them out.

Given, I was running an HV-Maxx on them, but Novak says it pulls 150Amp Spikes (I talked to Charlie - this was when I went to purchase Lipo's, I wanted to make sure that the Lipo's were capable of providing for the system).

However, being rated at 160amps continuous, they should be plenty. Even if they aren't 20C and are actually something like 12C, they still provide 96 amps continuous, agian, plenty.

If you really want to go overboard, you can get the new 5K cells in a 2P pack...that should be overkill, but overkill works.

I'm planning on getting a LMT 1950/6, so I'll let you know how they handle it. It should be pulling similar amps I would think, but then again my truck is on the light side (~9 pounds).
