4s or 5s or 6s?

Not less power. 1500kv is for 6s set ups and is less taxing on the battery, hence the marginally longer run time.
2200kv X 4s = 32560 revs
1500kv X 6s = 33300 revs
As you can see gearing will not really change.

4s 5000 30c = 2220w
(example) 6s 5000 30c = 3330w
Depending on what 6s battery you go with, there will be more likely more power (1/3 more). I wouldn't expect to see 1/3 more performance at the track though.

so on my current setup is probably as good as i can expect for run time give or take? i read posts from people on various sites about half hour run times etc,i take it they are talking out their..................bums

Youre lucky if you are only after a few more minutes as I need 20 minutes for our mains so need low KV motor and 5 or 6 cell batteries.
Doing my research if you wind the timing down on youre ecu to about 7 degrees and gear down and drop youre epa on radio down plus be careful with youre finger and maybe drop the lvc on ecu to say 2.9 volts per cell you can add a few minutes onto run time.

i was just reading your thread about 20 minute run times. thats a long final,i bet things get pretty warm by the end of that.i find my 2200kv has plenty if not to much power for what ineed.i find i waste a lot of power wheel spinning in the loose stuff so a slighty lower powered motor might be on the cards

yeah I run with nitros so thats what we run at Harewood and dont want to rock the boat and complain as lucky to be running with them at allmotor was hot but I was geared 1x pinion to high and had timing at 15 degrees which I think is default setting which sounds like it might be a bit to high
if you were only wanting a few more minutes I would say drop down to a 1700kv or similar and run lower timing/lower punch and keep off the loose stuff..easier said than done and you may be ok with youre present batteries.
