That particular 8ight was a 1.0rtr i had made into an electric conversion, but i have the 2.0 as well as the 1.0 race roller. the differences are all so minimal, any of the platforms are gonna be great to use and all of the parts are interchangeable.
I got my neu at offshore. they've been on sale for a few months now. As far as going 8, 10 or 12S, it's all a choice of effeciency vs effeciency to get the same speeds as 60K is gonna be the limit for any neu to last.
for me, it's a heck of alot easier to get a D to do 90+ on 6S than it is to mess with a HV-110 and pistix with a lower KV motor and have to carry all the extra weight. in the end, you have to get as close to 60K rpms as you can without burning it up so i decided to go with a higher KV motor with less voltage. The lower KV motor with higher voltage will be more effecient, but to me it seems like it could also be problematic as using mechanical brakes and fitment will become somewhat of an issue. For me, the D is plenty of motor for me. It'll get you right around the 90-95mph mark if you have a good long stretch of road to run on.
Edit:
Still, i think the ultimate speed package is gonna be the D (2900KV) on 5S. when i dropped my friend's in...my jaw hit the floor. I'm ordering my own from castle.  I just noticed offshore has some 5mm in stock now. Also, if you go the 1521 route, this is also a good idea to use:
