Polyquest 25c vs 30c

[lincpimp]

Got a question for the polyquest lipo users here.

I have a pair of 3s 4500 30c polyquest packs that I bought for my LST. I run them in sereis for 6s.

With a hacker c50 11xl and gearing for around 43mph, the lipos get a bit hot after a run, like 12f and sometimes over 130f in places on the pack. Motor is getting to around 160f, and the MMM does not get warm as it has the fan on all the time.

Was wondering if I went to a pair of 6000 25c 3s polyquest lipos would it be better?

I have read that the 25c packs hold voltage better than the 30c packs, and the 6000 25c is capable (according to specs) of a higher discharge rate, 150amps vs 135amps cont for the 30c pack.

Now, I am looking for someone who has ran both (maybe asking too much) or at least someone who has some experience with either.

I plan to swap the hacker 11xl for a 1521 2y (similar kv but a bit longer). I may drop my gearing (2 teeth on the pinion) and see if temps improve. I really like the setup as it is, but do not want to cook the lipos. Not sure if the neu will be more effecient than the hacker, but it is a bigger motor and I expect that it will draw a bit more from the lipos.

I plan to swap the 11xl into an erevo and run it with the 4500 30c lipos, as the truck is lighter it should not work the batts so hard as the lst.
