I agree that the 1520 on 9s or 10s may be too much. I guess what I'm saying is that I'd go with the biggest motor that can fit (since this is a big truck that needs a large motor) and then choose the appropriate voltage and gearing. Rather than deciding on a voltage first (9s-12s), all of the factors (kv, voltage, gearing) need to be considered. So I might go with the 1520 on, say, 6s-8s over the 4082 on higher voltages.
