ok the mamba max esc can only do a 3c lipo and if i were to get a feigao 7xl and a mamba max esc and a 10,00 3c 11.1 lipo will it go 40 and will every thing run cool or is a HV max 4.5 a fast motor?

The mm esc can handle 4s lipo. Just remove the red wire in the receiver plug and run a receiver pack or a ubec. The internal bec cannot handle over 3s lipo without overheating. The rest of the esc is fine for up 4s.

For the price of the 10000 3s lipo, buy one of these insted, much better: http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...eu25c4s5000car

I would also say that an 8xl will most likely be a better choice, it will run cooler than the 7xl. For 40 mph you will not have any trouble with the mm esc, 8xl, and the neuenergy 5000 4s lipo.

3s lipo is not enough voltage for a MT like a revo. It is too heavy and will draw too many amps, likely over 100amps, which is getting close to the MM limit of 110, and not many batterys, the 10000 3s maxamps included, can handle that kind of discharge. Plus to get 40mph from the 7xl on 3s the gearing will have to be high,, placing even more load, and heat, on the motor/esc/battery.

This setup (mm/8xl/4s) will make more power than the hv4.5.
