However, why is it that battery temps have always been good for me, depsite the low C rating? Is it because I have punch control set way high (or was it low - just so that I can only pull a wheelie from a hard start) and brake power at only like 50%, or is the C rating very conservative on this enerland based pack??

Also, while I like the idea of 6S, as I believe it's better to push the truck with voltage instead of current (which may be completely wrong), is 6S killing ESC's ya think? Is 5S safer for it, despite the rating?

I would go for the battery you suggested. It is about the cheapest way to do some swapping. Higher voltage is always better. Now do you run the truck at full throttle all of the time, or do you spend alot of time at partial throttle?

mostly WOT in parking lots. I admit, I can't get enough of it; watching this truck go that fast is like crack! However, I do kind of want to avoid going to the 1521 if I can; at this point if everyone agress I need to lower the speed then I'll have to deal with it I guess, but the easiest thing to do is go Zippy 6S, RX8/T8 combo, so if it means lowering speed, then ok.

Here why I don't want a 1521: I have to seal the can, grind the shaft, wait a while to get it, and it will be the most expensive option. If it really will achieve something, then I'll do it, but the tekin combo is easier and cheaper.
