8s + 7018 + Heatsink/Clamp is what i'm running in my rustler. I've run up to 14 cells(crappy cells) on it so far :D and the ESC/Motor get hot, but not scorching. Even on 12GP's they dont get scorching hot. On 6 cells or when i'm racing the motor and ESC are luke-warm after the battery dumps. Make sure your tranny is shimmed good or the 8s will eat it alive.

Mine was undrivable due to cogging without the reciever pack, but once i put in a reciever pack its smooth as silk. I've got the alu front shock tower, so i zip tied it to the top cross bar on the front-end, keeps those wheelie's in check ;-)
