brushless losi 8b

thanks for the replies
i always thought that the higher the voltage the better because it keeps the electrics cooler?
if i was to run 6s what sort KV motor should i use? will the 1700kv motor not be slightly over the 35K RPM figure?
how many runs have you had out of your zippy lipos? because my trakpowers packed up after about 60

running higher voltage will keep the electronics cooler as long as you also run a lower kv motor or lower gearing

ok so 4s sounds good
i have a mamba max esc that i have been running on 4s for quite a while but i just need a motor. what motor would be best? and what sort of runtime would i be looking at with 5K lipos?
i have been looking into gearing also, i have a 16T pinion already but what others would be a good comprimise for speed and runtime?
sorry for all the questions but i want to get it right 1st time round
