You could go for the Mamba maxx controller and aim for 4S; 4s2P of the true-rc 4000 packs (giving a total of 8000mAh) is very nice. And MUCH lighter than these heavy maxamps 10k cells!

Bytheway! you could also check the rc-monster store for the castle UBEC!

here is the beauty!

I would like to be able to hit atleast 50mph, hopefully 60, as far endurance i would like for it to be as reliable as possible

I'm dumb, what do you mean by 2P, when u say 4000mAh packs in 2P?

Any idea when this monster mamba max is coming out ?

About a yr ago I bought a used Emaxx which wasn't running. I've been through it completly and it's currently running on upgraded S600 motors on 7 cell pacs (16.8v, less than 4S voltage). You're going to have to plan on driveline upgrades. Mine has destroyed the centers and once those were replaced (UE titanium and UE cups), I've started twisting wheel axles.
I'm guessing that after I upgrade those to 3.3 style cvds, I'm going to have diff probs.

The setup you're talking about is way more power. You need to plan on driveline upgrades, or plan on a lot of downtime waiting on parts. I'm building a new Emaxx based on FLM ext alum chassis, 8xl, Quark125b, flm hybrids with UE 6 spyder diffs, GM single speed, UE idlers, 3.3 cvds, and GM race suspension. Reading here, was apparent was going to be way expensive to run powerful bl in stock emaxx due to needed upgrades. I would consider selling your current Emaxx and getting the newer one and make it brushless. Its better suited to handle it and will cost less in the long run.
