Hey, the Turmoil is a pretty good buggy... it can hang with the big boys on the track. I know a sponsored guy who kicked some but with one last summer.

On 3s, my gut says go with the 10L.... I don't know if I can explain? While it may not be the perfect setup I think it will run well. The motor is the cheapest part of the project... if it's not right or you kill it, then it's a relatively small loss. And it's not like a 10L won't work... it just might run a little hotter. On 3s though, it should not be as hot... and not as fast. And on 4s, you might just need to find a "happy" gear for it.

My first conversion was an 8L on 10-11 cells. I never ran it much though because that's when my Hacker controller smoked, and by the time I had another controller I had changed the whole car and modified the motor. I took the rotor from the 8L and stuck it in a C50 Hacker can.
