Choosing new motor and lipo.

[Serum]

Okay, first of all;

The 1st step you wanted to make with the 6S is huge, compared to the 14 cell powered 10L you first had, here is why;

-lipo will be much lighter
-you run at higher volts
-you use a stronger motor.

Those 4 points make me want to say 'use 5S lipoly'

Considering Promod did nearly 60 mph (59.7 mph) on his 2240 powered truck and a 6S lipoly. In other words.. BE PREPARED! you know what lipoly's are up to. Who's Promod? A high speed guru, and also a complete scientific one (practical science) he used that 6s setup on a schulze 12.97......... (that first 12 doesn't stand for the max amount of lipo's but for the max amount of nimh's or nicd's...


My choice for a nice runtime vs speed would be in the area of the 1940/8 or 9 The nine for the coolest setup and a longer runtime and the 8 for a topspeed setup.. (mind that those RPM ratings are under load)

I would stay away from a bigmaxximum. The schulze is a rather sensitive controller (understatement) and a 4 pole is about twice as hard on your esc than a 2 pole motor.
