IMO, whatever you do, STAY away from feigao. The 9L on 4s can easily push my 7.5lb 1/8 scale buggy 50+ mph, but it will overheat no matter what voltage or gearing (almost the same amount geared for 30 mph on 3s). It's just that they will heat up no matter what. They are just not the right design for cars. It doesn't take much to go 50-60 mph in a touring car. On 4s a Novak 8.5 or even a 10.5 will do 50+ with ease without overheating with max speeds of at least 70 mph.
