You dont have to make adjustment to the motors and change pinions all the time - when we race we tune the gearing on our trucks for the environment we are racing in. You can use the same pinion in the 8L im pretty sure but when you start using more cells you are going to be pushing that motor to its limits - also the speed controller as well - more voltage + hotter motor = more amps = bigger controller. I think if you are going to be running only 12 cells than the 8L is prob the best for the job. In regards to the supermaxx chassis - i used to run one - i switched to the gmaxx chassis because i liked the lower center of gravity with the gmaxx and i liked the way the batteries are secured better. I have never ran the supermaxx suspension or the racerX suspension. I have the integy and love it. Im sure mike will be able to give you more of the pros and cons of the two you mentioned. As far as the dual BL setup - i know of only one person who tried it - Full aluminum truck - on blacktop - 1/2 throttle and immediate flip and snapped off rear shocktower - so i would say that dual is a little too much.. Going from stock titans to dual BL is like going from a Yugo to a Formula 1.. LOL. But once again contact RC Monster Mike on these ????? also...
