I both a 4500 30C pack and a 6000 25c pack for my truggy. Performance wise I cant really tell a difference in either punch or pack temps. Ususally bith are comming off a long run around 110F. The 6000 just run a bit longer. If the 4500's work then the 6000 should be fine also.

BTW: I am using them in 5s configuration , but the cell comparision should still be valid even if you are using them in 6s config.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Ok, but do you think there will be any benefit going to the 6000 from the 4500? I feel my setup must be near the 4500 max due to the temps. I guess that I should drop gearing a bit and see if that helps any.

Well the 6000 have a slightly higher discharge capability according to the specs and the run time will obviously be longer. all this you know.

Even if you are on the edge of the packs capability, what options are there for better packs? None come to mind at the moment.

All I can do is run a pair of 3700 6s packs in parallel, but that is getting big and heavy, and will most likely not fit my battery area. I could go down to a pair of 3300 6s packs in parallel, but would like something more versatile.

I will try gearing down a bit and see what that does. New 6000 3s packs are 120 each, and I would rather put the money towards a mill/lathe...
