I am currently getting my GP2200's from maxamps.com. They are $5.49 a cell. You loose run time but reduce your weight.

The cell/voltage question is a little tricky. There are several factors involved regarding the differences of motor size and voltage. I run a maxcim N32 which runs around 2500 kv at 18 cells. But, like I said, I run 20 ;) I believe the can, of the motor, would be considered an L size.
Its kv = 2500
Voltage = 24
So my RPM per volt is 60,000

I have found that these figures have worked well for racing but I know there are faster motors out there with higher kv but you must also consider the size of you vehicle and your desired run time.

I'm sure you can setup a 12-14 cell buggy that will compete against the nitros I'm just not sure you will get the run time needed.

I would be interested to find out what other people with 12-14 cell setups are getting for run times.

Just for comparison, I get a minimum 20 minute run time with 18-20 GP3300 cells on my maxcim N32 setup.
