Guys I know you can help me with this one
 

For under 500 bucks what is the fastest most reliable brushless motor and speed control for my E-Maxx. Please give me lots of opinions and reasons why you reccomond that combo.

For slightly over $500 you can get a Quark 125B ($280) and a Neu 1512 ($225). That will be a smooth, efficient, powerful system.

That indeed is a very powerfull system.

I personally think that 14 cells is plenty fast, for both bashing and racing.

Why not go for a lightweight setup for that money?

Put your money in 4S lipo's, a mamba maxx and a Wanderer L motor Instead?

Wouldn't an L motor run hot? maybe not on only 14 cells.

No, an L motor would be more than okay. It will spool up quicker. and feel more agile than an XL.

I would choose a XL over an L anyday.

Says the man who clamed his basic xl was the only motor he would ever buy.

An xl over an L anyday, that makes no sense.

I never said the Basic XL was the only motor I would ever buy. And for an E-Maxx, yes, I would choose a XL on a L any day. Though, Serum, did you mean that it makes no sense to you as in the grammar or whatnot? Or the choice of a XL over a L?

the choice of the xl over the L anyday, that made no sense.

In some circumstances an L would benefit.

I'm not so sure. On paper, and real world circumstances are different. I think an L would be ok for a 7lb truck, like my E-Maxx use to be, but an XL would benefit even more because of more torque, higher gearing because of more torque, runs cooler, etc. I guess its a matter of opinion sometimes, though...

A friend of mine ran his big heavy savage (about 12-14 lbs) with heavy tires on a 10L, on 15 cells it did a nice 45mph.

What kind of temps?

Relative cool. Those L motors can do more than enough for a monster-truck.
