Well, as for runtime you need to look at it this way:
people want the same top speed with 5 cells so they start gearing a lot taller or taking a hotter motor to compensate.
Gearing taller means that the motor will draw max. amps for a longer period of time. hotter motor, duh, not gonna explain that.
So eventually the battery stays the same but needs to work a lot harder because of the gearing. Same in 4 cell mod 1/12...
But idd, no need to discuss the 5 cell <-> 6 cells in here, here its about the vortex motor, which, btw, I like a lot!!
