8s is crazy, but 10s would certainly start breaking things really fast...but ii'm guessing higher voltage and a lower kv motor would give you more runtime by drawing less amps on the lipos?
lutach- have you used the 55-10-32? can you elaborate on your experiences in the 10s+ zone and which cars?
cheers
