I'm wondering if locking it into 2nd gear would be too high for BL power? I'm thinking it would be fine with a big powerplant in there. There's so much room on the chassis on the MGT that you can run plenty of cells to suit your needs.

Depends on your motor and batteries really. I went with stock second speed gearing on my LST2 and was still pulling wheelies. I recently went up three more pinion teeth on my LST2 and the MM didn't even blink.

Roughly figure 1.2 V/cell NiMH vs 3.7V/ cell Lipo. Set up with BEC the MM will handle 4S. I've put 5S on my BK 9920 in the MGT no problem. Did have to run a fan on it though
