I also cannot get 20 minutes safely out of my 5s 4000 packs im using, so im wondering if i went to a 1512 (1500kv) or a medusa 36x60 1500kv, i could be sligthly slower, and squeeze those extra couple laps in on a 20 minutes main safely.....so would the 60 or 1512 1500 kv pull less amps in my buggy when geared almost the same, (they would be geared for 40, now im geared for 44) and i you dont know im running a 1515 2.5d 1700kv.
temps after our 30 minute a-main this weeked was
161-nue 1515
121-Mod 1 MM
113-protek 5s 4000 20c (did a battery swap halfway)

The medusa 60mm v2 2000kv is great in buggies.. around 2000kv is perfect becasue this allows you to run a 4s 5k even 6k pack with no weight gain vs your 5s 4k packs. That said you should be able to regear as stated above and net good results with slightly longer run times as well on your current equipment. To be honest it is going to be nearly impossible to finish a 20min main on 4k packs, so I would make the move to 4s 5k packs.. you may not even need to re-gear your setup.. you may find the reduced speed on 4s is perfect. I race weekly and have a very similar top speed as the nitro buggies, but with brushless torque you get to top speed so much faster you still have the advantage in the straights.
