I'm building a new BL Revo and was looking for a good motor and ESC choice. My current BL Revo is using 14 cells with an 8XL, and am happy with it, but it is heavy so I'm using it mainly for bashing.

The new one will be light specifically for racing so I was looking at a 9xl or 10xl, but don't know if it will have enough oomph. I plan on using 4s or 5s Li-Ion cells (propably 4s) to help keep the weight down. According to my figures, it should reach a decent top speed, but also want aggressive acceleration. I know I can gear up, but don't want to go too far.

Then, I was looking at ESCs. Currently using a BK 12020, but was thinking of trying one of the new Quarks. I actually made a post about it here, but not getting any replies (maybe because it's in the wrong area??).

Opinions?
