Brushless set up for a new guy

[RobK]

Thanks for all the comments, but I have to ask how many of you race? Is the 8XL too much for racing a small tight track designed for stadium trucks & 1/10th scale buggies? When should one consider an L can, or even something like the HV-MAXX? My electric Revo weighs 10.5lbs loaded up with 12 cells & 23MM/40 series bowties, and I haven't really tried to get the weight down yet (still has all steel push/steering rods/pivot balls). I know some of the nitro guys have Revos down in the low 6lbs range.
