I would say an MM & 8xl or 9xl was about perfect to start with too. If you take a look at the thread "bombproof products truck quick vid" you will see that someone who has a vast amount of money (must have to keep replacing toasted escs) & experience with a truelly awesome truck, with massively powerful batteries - 36v lithium - and serious BL motor, yet he can only manage 59mph because parts keep failing on him. Now take a look at your stock, plastic, standard wheel base truck with high CoG, and try to imagine the technical problems you will face, let alone the finacial costs. If you want a fast truck, convert a mini-t to BL with a MM setup, and it will easily do 60+mph (videos on BYT). Food for thought.....
