Revo BL Conversion questions

To get to 35k I would need to run nearly 19V! which I'm pretty far off... or did you mean that you dont want it up that fast? I'm confused :P

Is it even worth going A123? I haven't got any yet, I just thought it seemed like a good idea though because the high discharge ratings on them. my other option would be a 4s2p lipo, which I guess I might even have to go down to 8xl... I'd like to stick to the high side of things (high turns that is) incase I want to upgrade later...

You could run a 8xl, 5s a123 is similar to 4s lipo. I would personally go with a pair of trakpower lipos over the a123 cells. The a123 would require a 5s2p configuration if you want the voltage to stay up under load and decent runtimes too. I find that the stick pack sized trakpowers lit better than the a123 cells, maybe that is just me. The 8l is a good motor on 4s plus you are leaving in the 2 speed so that will help with the lower gering at takeoff!
