There is a lot of talk about the Feiago 7XL. It can take 5s Lipo very well. The amp rating of a motor has nothing to do with the number of amps it will pull in a vehicle. Brushless motors rated for 50amps can burst past 100amps given the chance to. Usually they pull fewer amps continuously.

One thing to keep in mind since you say that you want to go Lipo is that you will need a LVC device (low-voltage cutoff). This basically cuts the power/reduces the power to the motor when a cell gets to 3v. The idea is that it will prevent damage to the cells and possibly prevent any damage.
