I would say that a 4000 6s 25c battery would give you a solid 20mins at racing speeds, 35-40mph. It would not be very light though.

I would go with the nitro conversion. Use a tekno battery tray and esc mount, Rcm motor mount, and lock it in 2nd gear. If you prefer you colud leave the 2speed and mech brakes, but that will add weight.

The MMM should be your best bet, if it lives up to its specs. Since it has the gfan and onboard bec it will save weight and most likely run cool enough to use the motor brakes. A neu or plett will be necessary if you want to keep motor temps in check over a 20min race, and the added effecientcy will help with runtime. Something around a 1500kv motor on 6s lipo will be your best bet.

I am sure some neu users will chime in, and let you know what works best.
