No problemo my friend
I have used the Feigao motors.... They are excellent little motors however for a speed demon without getting into the custom gearing or extra cells (I prefer light and fast) they do not offer the high KV options. I think 7888 is the highest but its been a while. With the feigo/Lipo you can expect well over a half hour runtime
I would suggest you go with the long can as it will run nice and warm while the stubby can run a little hot depending on your gearing/driving/weight etc.
The one above no longer exists in that form. There I was running a 3racing CF DT chassis... The wheels by the way are xray M18 foamies (32mm hieght) custom adapted for the micro t. They are one killer lightweight setup for on-road. I included a few pics in case you might want to try it... Takes some practice to get them balanced but well worth it!
Here is a few pics of how she last sat (Now in pieces for another custom job) Here she was set up as a mid motor/10mm extended wheelbase.... How do you like that center of gravity
Hope that helps
