Default 8.5 brushless motor min lipo specs

I plan on running a speed passion 8.5 v3 motor in a durango dex410r. I looking a saddle packs that will not break the back. I know lipo deals are out there and I am not willing to spend $60 plus on a lipo. I plan on sharing the saddle lipos with my losi 22 17.5. I current run the gens ace stick lipo in my photon 17.5 and have no issuses.

My question wil the Gens Ace lipo meet my requirements for the Durango?
They are rated at 4800mah and 25c.

How can I find the requirements for what I need?

25c would be very optimistic in a 4wd car with a 8.5.

The requirement for what you need will vary with what you're buying. Lower-end packs don't support the burst rate that your setup can draw under hard acceleration.

Even among "sport level" packs, Reedy/Associated will, for example, state a burst rate of 50c on a 25c pack. I know that's not a saddle pack and so on but the Hobby King/other Chinese packs frequently have a stated burst rate only 10c above the pack's nominal C rating.

IMO, one you're running 4wd mod, you're playing with the "big boys" so you can buy cheap and hope it works or you can do it right from the start.
