Definitely a hot motor for that truck. Honestly, the only way you'll get it to work reliably with that motor is on 4s and you'll have to double up your packs in parallel which will double your maximum discharge rate.
Ideally you'd replace that motor with something closer to 1500kv run on 6s. But if you were stuck with that motor I suggest you run two 4s 5000mah 20-30c Zippy packs in Parallel ending up with a 4s2p configurating and 10,000mah. That would be about 250a you could pull from those batteries and honestly at that point you might have issues with your ESC. That's a lot of amps!
If you only used one battery it would be about 125a max and honestly you'd end up with bad performance and puffed lipo cells.
Your best bet by far is to get a 1515 or 1521 around 1500kv and go with 6s lipo.
I personally run Zippy packs and have had no issues.
