e-revo set up

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.

ok thanks for telling me all of that when i am finished i will post pics!
