I used a Lehner Basic XL4200 in my Jato. That, with an MGM 12012 and 2s lipo is what got me 37MPH on my street. That was the only time I checked the speed. That setup ran nice and cool.
I also played a little in my back yard with 3s lipo, but never measured the speed. The drivetrain held up to 3s lipo for at least the 15 minutes I ran it :003:
In the regular use of my converted Jato (racing) I ran 6-cell nimh packs with an MGM 8012 and the XL4200, and never had a problem with the drivetrain or heat.
