so would a 10L be less efficient because it would be working to hard? If thats the case I guess an XL is a better choice.

Would it be better running a 7xl at 20/51 gearing or a 9xl at say 25/51?

so for comparisons sake if you had a 8xl(2084kv) and a 12L(2048kv) both equal Kv, witch should give a better run time/run coolest everything else being equal?

Is there any advantage to me running an L can in this setup, like less amp draw or longer run times?

The l can motors are too small for your application. The xl motor will run cooler and thus use less amps to move the gtp around. The l can motors are good for 4wd 10th scale conversions, but 1/8 need bigger motors. I would go with the xl can and 5s lipo if possible. The 7xl and 4s will do what you want , but will need fans, where the 9xl on 5s will run cooler. It is up to you, for 45-50mph I would recommend 5s lipo and a 8-9xl. That is what i plan to do when I get my ultra gtp. Or I have a 1300kv motor that I may run 7s on, for some speed runs!
