Use nimh batteries lol!

Actually A123 will still have less punch than lipo. As far as a motor, go with the castle cms4600 motor or a tekin redline sensorless motor of equivalent or less kv. Both are aircore/slotless motors with large dia. rotors, providing less bottom end torque and more midrange torque to get you the speed you need. I have a tekin redline 632 3200 kv motor for 3s and it has a lot less bottom end punch than any novak i've tried or any motor with a 380 size rotor for that matter.
