Should be powerful. It has the capability to run up to 12 cells (although not recommended). The newer MGM controllers are quite good.

Either will work quite well. I prefer the basic 4200 myslef, actually. It is smaller, has about the same feel power wise, but gets a better runtime and is small enough to be protected by the motor/tranny skid(Feigao will stick out past it by about 1/4").

Just to clarify, you can't run the 8s on 12 cells.

Yes, I was speaking of the 4200 (which is rated for 65,000RPM, although this should not even be neared).
