Thaks for the replies guys.

I think that ESC warranty problems with other brushless manufacturers such a Schulze have created a bad impression amongst the E-Maxx user base. If BK have good warranty support, then that definately needs to be more widely known. It's certainly making me consider an alterntive setup to the HV.

Another thing that swung me in the HV's direction was its availability in the UK. I bought it direct from my LHS, and can take it back there if there are any problems. I am not aware of anywhere in the UK that sells Feigao/BK/Schulze/Pletty etc. products. I know thats it's easy to order from overseas, but that creates problems if a return becomes necessary. Plus the fact that there is a very high customs/tax levy on items originating from the USA, coming into Europe. I may be able to buy an ESC + motor + shipping for $300, but the package can have anything up to 50% of that total added on in tax & customs duties! I can get a 9918 direct from BK in Germany for $253 though, and as it's in the EU, no additional charges would apply.

So I could use the 9918's BEC, even on 14 cells? I have Hi-Tec 645MG & 945MG servos on my truck. If so, add another tick to that setup. :D

So if I wanted to use 14 cells, and have a system that ran fast (say up to 40mph) and also cool, would a 9L or 10L be the better choice? And whilst it isn't really recommended for car use, I would want a motor with a 1/8" shaft rather than 5mm, as I already have 14T-18T 32DP pinions, and 5mm pinions seem to be scarce. I see that the 9L is available with 1/8" shaft, but not the 10L? Is the motor clamp/heatsink in stock yet?

So for all the questions, but as I have possibly already made one mistake by buying the HV, I want to make sure that if I change system, that it's the right one for my truck. Thanks.
