Interesting info. Gotta love the 36amp draw! I had similar results with my 8s powered savage. I used a 60hv great planes esc with a feigao 14xl (yeah, real cheap equipment) and 8s 3600 12c lipos (heavy and old). I had great temps on the esc and lipos, even in the summer heat in the south the esc barely went over 100f, and the lipos did not warm up at all. And I got 40-45min out of the setup too. The weak link was the feigao, but with a rcm heatsink/clamp I could keep it around 150f for that 40min bash session. Plenty of power too, I did use mech brakes (esc did not have brakes).

I can imagine that with a good motor like you have that the setup would be even better. You could use a 60amp esc too. Any thoughts on the kontronik 55 escs? They have a car mode and can handle up to 10s IIRC. Had one but never tried it out.

Would love to see some pics of how you laid it out...
