Dirt Cheap RC has 4000 75c shortys from Vant battery, I've been using them for about 6months now and they're a great battery http://thebarnfloor.com/catalog/prod...5#.UXiEWqKmiAh
They're out of them right now but will be back in stock soon.

10min mains with a bunch of warmup laps is no problem for me with my DEX408 and Promatch shorties. There isn't a ton of capacity left, but for 10mins, def. good to go.

What company has a high c rated shorty pack with 5mm bullet connections?

You should be ok with 4600's and 1900kV. I know your easy on the trigger, so you should be fine. I've seen some guys running a Pro4/shorty combo to save additional weight...just a thought...

How is everything rob? dunno anything about pro4, that a smaller motor or something than a tekin 2050

The pro4 is a 4x4 sc motor, smaller and lighter. I'd go with the smc 4600 shorty, smc is the best in the biz imo

SMC has a 4600 for 49.95$.

I think once you see shorty pack go to say 5200, they will be the norm in 10th.

What pro4 motor is similar in power to a tekin 2050

And will it work with the rx8 speedo

I'm not completely sure how that works. The Pro4 4600kv is good for 2s, but is not rated for 4s. The RX8 will handle it fine. I guess if you ran dual shorties to double mah instead of voltage, you might be able to use it in an ebuggy, but I think the heat and loss of torque would outweigh the benefits of a little bit lighter motor. I ran a 4600 with dual shorties in my old SC10 4X4 but wouldn't ever consider it for ebuggy.

I am running full size 6000's in my 811 right now. After a 10 min main, I put back in about 2800mah into each pack. I am not sure how much you can pull out of a Shorty before lipo cutoff though. That is a medium size outdoor track. I would think the 4600 ProMatches might suffice. I am running a T8 1900 also.

I would say you would look at the new Pro4 HD line of motors from Tekin, probably the 4300Kv one on 2S. From what I have been reading about it in SCT usage in a Tekno SCT410 which is one of the heavier 4x4 SCTs, it works excellent, tons of torque which from what I recall the differences I noticed between the 1900Kv and the 2050Kv Tekin, that is probably what you would want.

As mentioned by others, you then would wire it up in parallel for more runtime. Getting easily over 10 minutes with the 7200mah 2S pack from Promatch with the Pro4 4600KV motor, I would assume you would be able to do the same with 9200mah effectively.

If your track is strict on weight, that extra heft of that motor could help too when running the dual shorties.

Okay, I'm just trying to do the same with the car as my wife.... put them on a diet and have just enough stamina to make it till I'm finished lol
