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.

I have though about the 7XL on 14 cells. Not comfortable running the 7XL on 5s. Just think that would be to hot for me. Looking for a cool running system. Mabye a 8XL on 5s would be better for me, but I am not really looking for another faigo.
Also I do understand that there can be burst of 100+ amps on a 64 amp rated motor. I am really looking for information on the possible cont amps being pulled by these motors. So what exactly is the amp rating on the motor mean?
So I guess what I was really asking as for advice as to what motor I can use that will overheat or worse fry my controller and my lipos.
My schulze controler has a LVC device built into the controller for use with lipo batts. So dont have to worry about that.
