No, you are correct I haven't mentioned the chassis. It is going to be a G2R rolling chassis from here. I don't have a Revo so it makes sense to buy the rolling kit.

If I can give you my advice, just wait for some other times and save some
money to have a really efficient motor.
Everything I tried but Lehner (and I think this is also for Neu) goes HOT.
Yeah,m they are powerful, but not efficient motors.
Your ESC will cry a lot with them due to the temperature it will be able to reach.
You can run a 1950/8 with 20 volts for one hour of bashing, keeping it arpund 40°.
You should forget this with a feigao or a wanderer one.

That's a long run time. I would be happy with a 30min run time. Which is why I was thinking about the 8000 maxamps. Though I have hear some complaints about them. I'm willing to give them a shot. I like that they offer you single cells to build custom packs.
One problem with waiting to get the top of the line motor other then the waiting. Is that if I need to get every thing else that goes with it. A controller that can support it. Then I need batteries that can handle the draw. Before long it's a monster and your go so fast that you break things and it spends more time being fixed then driven. I'm hoping that isn't the case with the Revo and it really can handle what I hear people doing to them. Which is the whole reason I'm going 1/8th. Plus if I had all that into it it's worth more then some full size cars I've owned/own.
I'm not saying I wouldn't like to get a 1950, just if I did I would take this project in a different direction then what was planned. I would also be taking it to a level above the the other guys I race with. One I don't think they could keep up with. And what fun is that?
