In my 1s chassis, I only use about 1300mha. Battery voltage at the beginning of the charge is like 3.95 or so, finish charge is 4.22. I changed to a Thunder Power charger because my ICE would only charge to 4.18 before stopping, charging the extra .04v was worth another 400mha and about .2 per lap in a car that does laps in the range of 4.2 seconds or so...
I would expect your start voltage per pack to be about 3.8 given the amount of charge they are taking.
You can fabricate a balance plug and charge as a 2s if it makes your life easier. I can take a picture of mine and post it if you want, but I'm warning you - it looks pretty sketchy. It does work, and I charge at 20 amps.
timing is on the motor. speedo is lrp sxx tc spec v2 with 3.0 update and the following profile: 1-0-0-0.
I think we found your problem. I'd set the timing back to whatever the factory setting is and set your speed control at 1-0-2-2 (Kody's) or 1-0-0-2 (Ryans). It'll probally make more power and run cooler for your trouble.
(I don't use LRP, that setting is what Kody used here)
