I guess I dont know why I said 8s...it could be any available 540 motor!

I guess I like the idea of a bigger can, figuring more torque, but then also higher amp draw. But on the flip side..if comparing to a smaller can, to reach a certain level of acceleration it would take more juice from the smaller motor to get the same affect.

So I guess it is any of the 540 motors and any of the 380 motors (but seems the slightly longer 380c 6l is a good option) What about like a 7-8t (380)? I really only want slightly more power than my novak ss 5800 is putting out on 7 cells. I really do enjoy my runtime rather than having a 50mph truck that dumps in 5 minutes.

And squee, thanks for the input. So the truck has the heatsink, making it bulkier? I guess it seems like the more expensive higher rated pro would be the more durable unit? I really dont mind the weight of it (im assuming it cant be too heavy) just as long as neither of them is overly large. I also wouldnt mind saving the 15-20 bucks over the pro if the truck isnt too bad.
