60 mph mamba brushless setup for e-maxx, would this work?

Now we're talkin'! :) However, I think (personally) that running 16 cells on one MM is really pushing the limits. They way to efficiency on a MM system is voltage, and yes, 16 cells is a good idea....but the reliability of the MM ESC at 16 cells is questionable. Some folks have no problem, others smoke 'em. I think it's just the luck of the draw and manufacturing variances. I'd go for a purpose-built ESC at that point (Quark).

I'm not too sure about the 8XL either. I don't think I'd go lower than a 9XL, and I'd most likely use a 10XL. Generally the larger the truck, the lower KV you want. You gain speed by gearing it up and adding voltage. You are already past the limit on voltage, so your only solution is gearing. This is why a different ESC is needed. Getting to 60 MPH takes a LOT of power, and I'm not sure if the MM will deliver reliably for you.
