Newb considering a BL/Lipo 8T conversion

[jayjay283]

the lower KV and higher voltage run cooler and tend to have longer runtimes. for a start the cc2200 and lipo you picked will smoke any nitro. you can always throw in 5s or 6s for uncontrollable fun

Hmm....so maybe team the MMM ESC (or maybe EZrun 150A?) with perhaps a different motor with lower KV and use a 4S pack (Start with 4S and go from there?), and that would lead to longer runtimes you think and better durability and less chance of a dead lipo/ESC/Motor?

Budget is a consideration so can you recommend a cheaper but still reliable sub 2000kv motor that would suit and maybe a cheaper ESC/Lipo's? I don't necessarily have to have a setup that blows the nitro's into the weeds, just one that definitely keeps up and hits a 20 minute runtime? I'm open to suggestions!
