That would pull quite a bit of current! 3s lets you use a lower kv motor to get the same speed and is easier to get the total power...

I have'nt run with the Chassis and Truck tires yet. With the buggy rears and a 14 tooth pinion it would run upper 130s/motor, mid 140s to mid 150s/esc when I was really pushing it in 90 degree weather. With a little better throttle management and/or mid 70s evening temperatures I could keep both motor and esc 10-15 degrees cooler. I have a 13 on the new setup; hopefully it won't run too much hotter.
I certainly don't disagree with you or Hautz about the 3s/L motor being a better choice. It's a matter of what I had vs. how much more I could('nt) afford to spend.
