Hyper 7 Conversion - Most reliable?

[Neuroelectronic]

I'm going to be doing a Hyper 7 conversion. It's been done quite a few times so I think everyone has a pretty good idea of what works with 1/8th scale. I've spent the past two days checking out forums and I think the best setup for me would be:

Neu 1515/1Y
Quark Monster Pro
16v worth of LiPo

There is a electric conversion mount in it already but it's really thin and meant for two motors and one side has been cut off. This will most likely have to be replaced to prevent gear slipping. It also has a roll cage which I want to keep on it to protect the electronics from crashes and maybe add a camera in the future. The chassis weights 6 pounds with no electronics.

Cost is of no concern, with in reason. :018:

My goals for this (in order) are

• Reliability
• Speed - Optimal speed/torque for this drivetrain. Nothing crazy.
• Run time

1. Is a Neu motor necessary to keep from overheating? The drivetrain apears stock but will this have enough torque to twist up shafts?

2. This setup is awesome and probably the ideal for my truck. I imagine that is a custom mount but I heard Mamba max controllers are not a good pair with Neu motors. I don't have the resources to make a custom mount. Where can I find a good one?

3. Are those $450 MGM boat controllers applicable? I imagine they are meant for A high voltage setup with a low kV motor like the 1515/1.5Y which would prevent thermaling. It doesn't seem like anyone makes a good speed controller for 1/8th scale that doesn't have thermal problems with out modification.

I can take pictures of the rolling chassis if that is necessary.

Thanks for your help. Oh, yea I'm new and this is my first post :)
