Brushless help

[jimbiss]

I am looking at getting a brushless motor for my E-maxx, basically stock. I have kind of looked at the HV6.5, but it looks like an XL might be better way to go. The main thing I am looking for is maybe a little more speed, but mainly longer run times. I would like to stay with 12 to 14 cells. Any suggestions? What all do I need if I go with an XL motor? How much am I going to be into it? I'm guessing $300 to $400 right.

I have 3.3 revo shafts and carriers on the truck. And I will at least get the steel idler gears when I put a brushless motor in my truck.

Would the Quark 80B esc controller work with a Feigao C 8XL or C 9XL if I stayed with 12 to 14 cells?

So it looks like I will go with: Feigao C 8XL or C 9XL, Quark 80B, steel idler gears, Strobe slipper

Thanks for all the help everybody!! You guys are awesome!!
