I run the 8xl on 20 cells with a 12 1/2 lb. truck and I do over 60mph.(need to flag down a cop one day and see if he will clock it for me) Wheelies???? more like truck flips over the wheelie bar! can't go more than 2/3 throttle from a stop. I think the set-up you pick depends on what you really want to use the truck for. If its for showing off, racing others and bashing like me then I would go with the 8xl. And it can be used with 20 cells as long as you get the gearing right and have good airflow over everything. It is a good combination of power and run time.(I get over 15 mins running hard)

As far as a chassis I would reccomend the Gorilla Maxx extended like others have said. When you have that much power you will be flipping like crazy when turning or taking off. The Gorilla Maxx extended made my truck super stable. Its like a new truck.

And like squee said the FLM hybrids are the way to go. I would reccomend putting UE 8 spyders in them.
