Heat from FETS and motor with 5 cell

I have a stage 2 motor and the top speed gear/motor set in. Most of the time I'll be driving my XMOD inside at least for a while till it warms up here again. My house is pretty warm most of the time (+/- about 73*) Now my FET heatsink and the motor seem like the build up some pretty good heat as is (I like to really get on the throttle a lot, its just fun spinning and power sliding on slick hardwood) is the 5th cell going to product an overwhelming amount of heat that it toasts itself or no?

Also I was thinking after I had my 5th cell in(heat circumstances providing) that I would put in an AWD mod because of the added power I could keep a top speed equal to the way it is now. Is that how it should be?


thanks guys, any input is appreciated.
