Mmms... can't imagine why it'd be anymore "toy-like" than an XXL. I've been running the stock suspension pieces in my XLs (nitro, electric, 5T) over the last year or two and havent broken one of those in all the flips, nose plants, etc. Only non-stock suspension part was the rear hub carries from Integy that I've started running on all 3 of mine (or while when I refinish the nitro version), mainly because of the 5T. There was way too much side to side movement in the rear end that really showed up in the 5T conversion.

2200kv runs fine the 5T, not sure why you thought it wouldn't. With 6S on the 2200kv the Flux is pretty insane as it is. The mass of the 5T actually calms it a bit; I am running mine now on 5S with the 2200kv... not interested in doing back flips with it, nor doing 60+ mph either... if I wanted either of those I'd build a machine for that. Sure going to a smaller Kv motor will be more efficient and lower engine temps which is good.

Go to XL TVPs (FLM and HPI have them, maybe even 1offrc)... that'll have room to run a longer can. ALthough I've measured and with my 5T, which has the same measurements in the rear as the standard Flux, I can jam in a 1520 so not sure why you wouldn't be able to... There is about 15mm between the rear of the motor and the bulkhead.
