OK, some people want extreme power. ;)

Right now I am happy with the performance I get with 5s on a feiago 9xl but would like it to run cooler. So if I could run 6s I would probably go in the 1500kv range.

6S and a 10XL should actually run pretty cool. Mine ran ICE cold on 3S. :p Of course it would only go about as fast as a stock E-Maxx.

gixxer, I'm running an 8XL on 5S right now. I was thinking of going to a 9XL for a bit more torque and gearability to run the 40 series mashers that I got. Are you saying that you are having heat problems with the 9XL too?

The motor is running around 170 on a 10-15min run. Not out of control but I would prefer to get temps in the 130 range.

Sounds like your undergeared...

I think I might and will order a bigger gear when I make my next order. That wont be until mike finishes up the motor mounts for the 8ight-t. Right now I have it geared 16/46 on 5s.

just to say something here, ppl on rc racing fourms have the 10th scale car version in there cyclones and on the track are INSANE!!!!! and run VERY cool says the dude running it, this monster one could be VERY good!

do they run the redline motor's?

Let's hope, we can use all the options/competition in the brushless controller market, to bring down costs.

yup! the whole kit! theres only 2 so far i have found. idk if they are beta testers or bought it lol i was just reading up on it!

If it comes out before the MMM, my money will be yours. I will only run 4s at the beginning, but more will be even better, so I can always upgrade to higher voltage batteries in the future.

would a r1pro esc be sufficient for a 1/8th scale truggy?:013:

I think that the r1pro is only good for 3S, although this may just be because of the bec. I wish that something would come out, either the Tekin or the Castle.

I believe he has said that all the Tekin BL ESC's will do up to 5S, but they only spec 3S because of the internal BEC. They don't want to have to explain that they will run on up to 5S if you disable the BEC and use a UBEC or Rx pack.
