Oh, and you defintely don't want to run that motor at 14.4v, that's almost 111,000 rpm!! :eek: ...assuming of course that the batteries actually stay at 14.4v.
If you're looking for batteries for that setup, I'd go with something that has a large Ah and/or C rating to be able to supply at least 100A continuously with minimal voltage drop. Otherwise your lipos will heat up fast and may be damaged.
Personally, the 7700 is not sized right for that truck. Maybe in a 2-3lb vehicle. Don't forget; as kv goes up, torque goes down and that motor may simply not enough torque to get the vehicle moving at a decent speed. Again, I'd say go with the 4600 or lower kv motor, use higher voltage, and gear appropriately. I am almost positive you'll be satisfied.

Yah, I'll most likely be buying the 4600 motor shortly... Oh well, My stupid mistake in buying the 'fastest' motor from the get go...:007:
I guess I'll have to find a 'lightweight' 2-3lb car for the 7700 to go in now... Maybe a light weight land rocket of a road car or somthing :)
Basically what I want, is for the thing to be almost undriveable because it has so much power... I want it to be stupid fast, wheely on command and be a challenge to drive because it has so much power........
