For runtime(and racing) the xl2400 on 14 cells would ofer excellent performance and runtime(the best runtime of the motors mentioned). The decision on e-revo vs g-maxx chassis is a tough one. The g-maxx chassis is an excellent platform for racing (I have a few that I race quite successfully), but upgrading can get quite costly. If you don't drive it like it's stolen, you can get away with mostly stock parts and keep things light and relatively inexpensive, or, you could drop a couple $k and go all out (like I have admittedly done!). The revo is also an excellent platform, and can be made into a brushless performer with out a great deal of difficulty. I am working on offering some conversions for the revo in the near future, as I really enjoy driving my Revo (although my brushless g-maxx is by far my favorite r/c vehicle). I can only imagine that a brushless revo would soon be among my favorites as well.
