I plan on sticking to 12 cells, but may eventually move to LiPoly later on when the price drops a bit (and safety issues resolved).

I was looking at the 9L simply because it would be at the low end of the cell count and I'd have a little room to "grow" in case I decide to go higher later on. If I run the 6xl (95A) or 7xl (110A), won't the current be too high for the BK Warrior 9920 rated only for 99A? I don't like pushing electronics to their max ratings for longevity's sake.

As for the maxx tranny, I was toying with the single speed version, but since I'm new to this, was wondering if the top speed would be high enough. The only reason I'd do 2 speed was so I could have a spur/pinion setup that's good for torque and then switch to 2nd for times I want to go faster. If I go single speed, I'd have to find a compromise in gearing between speed and power right?

Yeah, I plan to replace those Tamiya connectors - I was just using those as a visual aid and because they are really used for the EZStart on my Nitro Revo. I plan on getting new batts and definitely using Deans plugs. What do you mean by "side-by-side"? I do plan on running both packs in series (for ~14v total) if that's what you mean.

Thanks, I appreciate the input!
