Well, I'm not sure if you thought of the current draw of the 7XL.

The 7XL is pretty close in KV to the 10L. However, the problem then is that it is a 95A draw motor. You are running at the ragged edge of the limits of the ESC at that point. Also, a 4Ah pack (assuming it's 20C) ain't gonna feed that motor, because you're looking at 80A continuous out of that pack. To me, the 7XL seems to be asking a lot of the pack and ESC...I may be wrong, I'm sure someone will tell me if I am. :)

I think I'd get the 8XL, which is 83A, pretty darn close to the current capability of the 4Ah pack and definitely easier on the ESC. Personally, I'd prefer a R/C that's slightly slower, but doesn't catch on fire! :005:

Or maybe I'm just screwed in the head with my above thought process? :032:

As for the pinion, search tower for "century motor gear 1.0"
