Expeertise in lipo'ness needed

[Mansfieldrcsecretary]

Hi there hoping for some opinions on this.
My problem is;
I have a losi scte 3kg short course truck and it is killing batteries. The lipos (5900 lrp, 5000 core rc and 5600 orion) are coming out after a run at 60*c +, swelling and it would appear in danger of death.

I bought a whole new motor and speedo set up, same thing hgappens. The speedo and motor are never above 50*c.
I'm assuming its because of the power draw.
Any ideas or recommendations on cells or mods to improve this.
Cheers

How many amps is the esc or what esc is it?

Sounds like the battery's aren't drawing enough amps for the motor and es.

2nd from me. If you are running the 'cheapie' 20c 30c packs it's time to upgrade to 60c+ Lipo's.

Though I'd be surprised if those lips listed are 20-30C

Cheap batteries in a 'not cheap' application, SCTE truck's are heavy and they need cells that can provide the power, obviously yours can't.
