Lipomax's comments have really put an end to my thoughts on LiPo batts for my truck. However, I now think I have a better understanding of how things work. I was originally wanting to order a 9918/9L setup, to run with a 14 cell pack. I now believe I would rather go with a 9918/10L on 16 cells for the following reasons:

On 16 cells the 10L will be in a nice range with a max revs of 47,200. The lower current draw from the motor will mean that both the motor and the controller will run cooler, which should help improve longevity. Finally, the lower current draw from the packs should mean a better run time than on a 9L/9918 combo.

Is this right?

If so I would like to order the 10L/9918 with the new heatsink/clamp you've designed, together with a koolflight UBEC. Do you have all this in stock?
