I can understand why you guy's use high voltage (to reduce the amps), but, what's wrong with teaming up a motor/ESC/battery combo to allow for amp flow & maintain consistent motor, ESC & batt temps instead of spending huge bucks on those giant heavy batteries?

My mate's Revo runs perfectly with a 7XL, MM with fan & the Maxxamps batt. The battery stays nice & cool, while the MM maintains a consistent 50C & the motor sits at 60-65C max.

I'm trying to understand why alot of you want to spend big on a batt, but, go for cheaper ESC's & low kv motors, it just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm just too much of a noob with BL systems, although, I have had my RC18 R for a while with a 9200kv powered by a 11.1v 3s 20C. It's stupid fast & have no heating issues.
