the ubec allows extra voltage to be sucked out of the batteries and to the receiver to power the servos. It is basically a battery pack except for it never needs to be charged, gets voltage from regular batteries, is smaller, and needs to be soldered to the ESC. Also to use a battery pack or ubec the red wire on the servo wire needs to be cut off. Here are some wiring diagrams on this website. for gearing on the 8XL i would run no bigger than a 18t but personally i would run a 16t to keep temps down. it could definatly be run on 18t and would probably work good but temps would definatly be higher. As for runtime depending on the type of battery(mah level) some guys here get an average of 15-20 minutes on a decent set of batteries on a stock maxx with these options (decent battery is like ib 3800 or 3300s). Hope i helped.

Ok guys, here is what I ended up ordering:

-Mamba Max ESC
-Fiegao/Nemesis 8XL Motor
-RC-Monster Black Heatsink, XL Size
-5mm bore Mod 1 15T Pinion Gear (Revo)
-5mm bore 32P 18T Pinion Gear (E-Maxx)
-UBEC
-5.5mm connectors

This will all go in a Revo that I am in the process of converting, and I went ahead and ordered a 32P pinion just incase I wanna pop the BL System in the E-Maxx, that way I dont have to pay $10 for shipping later on down the road.

Now all I have to do is get this revo ready and make mounts for everything, motor, batteries, ESC, RX, and maybe UBEC.
