hmm, here with these we usually push the lipo mah to the max that we can fit into them with the hotter motors which a 5700kv 4 pole can be (by comparison, using 4600Kv 4 pole here and buddy uses the 5100Kv Pro2 Tekin motor which Ithink is also 4 pole). we use our vehicles for racing so looking to may anywhere between 5 to 8 minutes racing speeds, etc on 1/10 to 1/8 scale tracks.
I'd probably suggest trying out a higher capacity battery see how that feels first.
