Need help with 4S racing setup

If you don't do any practice lap and manage you trigger finger well you should be able to pull off a 20 min. main with a 6000. However, Imo, a 6000 makes too heavy of a buggy trying to run with the expert nitro guys. Actually, my 8ight needed to go on diet with a 5000mah 20c Enermax. At some point the loss off handling for extra runtime overcomes the ability of setup changes to compensate for it. Here is a link to Mike's Polyquest 4s 6000mah 25c pack.......625 g's!

My last few outings I've been trying my 4S 10,000mah pack and actually have gotten used to the weight. TQ'ed and won 15 min A-main (not to brag ) I made the pack from individual 10,000 MaxAmps cells they had for only ~$32 each. It sure is a brick but I don't worry about making the long mains anymore. Had to make some serious setup changes but it actually drove and jumped great. Had to go down to an 11/44 on RC8 with 1512/2D to keep the motor from getting too hot (8.6lb buggy) and gave up a little speed on the long straight but won by almost a full lap on a 37sec/lap track.
