I too think that there are some cheaper alternatives to neu motors, especially if you are willing to run 5s lipo or more. On 14 cells I would try to gear for about 35, when the 2 speed comes out for the new emaxx it will up the speed and allow for even lower spur/pinion ratio. For the cheapest setup, run a feigao 15l and a bk 9920. Not sure who carries the 9920 but you can usually get the 15l from United Hobbies/Hobby City. I have an old emaxx running this combo on 5s lipo and it is great, stays cool too. Just my 2 cents though.

The 8xl and MM will work well on 4s lipo. Pick up a pair true rc 8000 2s lipos and a decent charger, mrc 989, and the mm and 8xl and you will have the whole setup for about the same as the neu and mgm combo. Probably cheaper.
