This is why 3s is not that good, step up to 5s and you will see that a 5s 4000 packs will give you better runtimes that of the 8000 3s. Plus all of the equipmeent will run cooler. Say that you are try to get 1000watts out of a combo, on 3s you need 90amps. On 5s you only need 55 amps. That makes a huge difference on equipment temps. Same esc, same size and weight motor, just less kv, same overall motor and vehicle speed, same gearing. it will run better with higher voltage.

I can imagine that the tekno setup with the 8000 3s gets warmer than a similar powered 5s setup. Plus considering that a 8000 3s pack is made of 6 4000 cells, a 5s 4000 will weigh 1/6 of the 8000 pack. Less weight means better performance.
