Haha I'm sure I'll be investing in a better soon (as soon as the missus allows ;) ), but I wanted to see if the whole brushless thing was feasible using my existing A123 batts.

The 8XL does seem to heat up real quick, but for $70, I don't really mind abusing it until it dies.

It's always worth buying good stuff up front, hence the MM and MMM's I've got, but I was really unsure what kv motor to get with my batts etc. Now that I have an idea of performance vs power delivery and battery capacity I can make a far better decision. Would have been worse if I shelled out $300 smackers for a Neu and then found out I got the wrong kv for my setup :D

On that note, how does one work with the Neu naming convention, and which one would you gents recommend for me when I'm running the 4s2p batts? I'll be racing with the Revo, so I'll need at least 7 mins run time (10 would be better) and enough speed to keep up with the nitros, but I'll be happy if I can flog them down the straight! :D
