well welcome to the forums! what i would recommend is if you plan on adding more cells later on i would go with a wanderer xl motor. they disapate more heat, run cooler, have more torque, and better runtimes. the key to select on is figure out if you want more speed, runtime, ect. what i would recommend is a 8xl or possible a 9xl. the advantage with a motor that has a lower kv (less rpms) is that it can be geared higher for more speed and still have oodles of torque. basically, a motor turning more rpms isnt gonna have as good of an efficiency which results in less runtime, and it wont have as much torque. so an xl with a 9920 is the way to go. if your look for about 40 mph on 14 cells and would like to be able to increase voltage later on, i would recommend the 9xl. if you want a little more speed the 8xl might be for you. of coarse, speed depends on gear which would vary upon which motor you choose but, with an xl you have more than 1 or 2 to choose from. you will have room to play with gearing and not worry about the motor getting to hot thus you can gear according to if your doing speed runs or it you are just bashing and want more runtimes than speed. the 9xl on 12 cells will give you about 25 minutes of runtime as well on 18 geared appropriately.
