Well, the truth is;

They will spin up slower, but the have got a HUGE factor of more torque. You really don't want a motor that size to spin up really fast. But here is my theory;

Due to the mass, they may spin up slower, but that very same mass, makes them also much stronger. It is that particular mass that makes them that strong and heavy.

You don't want a motor to spin up in less than 1 seccond from 0 to 30K (those large motor also need less rpm's, because they have got the torque needed for a larger gearing.) Also; because of this larger gearing, the acceleration with a less fast reving motor can be faster than a fast reving smaller motor, which needs the rpm's to make speed.

All and all, i vote for the large motor vs the small motor, but i simple am not a racer.

@ dafni; i like a truck being fast. 45 mph doesn't push my buttons. you don't need to drive it that fast, it's the huge acceleration and power that makes it lovely to drive. I personally don't get a kick from driving on 14 cells. 16 is net enough for me. It's just the difference of everyone enjoying the hobby his own way.. It's the never ending discussion between die hard bashers and shelve queen builders.. between the 14 vs 20 cells and up setups..

My maxx will be powered with 16 cells, i think it's too pretty to be wasted and trashed with a big ass setup, that's the reason i am planning on buying an easy to maintain/strong stock savage and do a 20 cell rebuild on.. It will be rather light, the extra weight the cells add will be overruled with the power the extra cells give. Like i said, i don't drive tracks.. I am that idiot that needs a HUGE field to enjoy his hobby... driving it on a narrow road also adds a little rush of adrenaline..
