Need help deciding...

The 8L can't even take 22.2 volts, let alone is has an rpm limit around 60,000 rpms. You have to realize, once you start dealing with high voltage and torque, you can gear higher than converntionally and mathematics won't always work out to the realistic in truck speed. An 8L, 6XL and 7XL would all be expensive toast on 22.2 volts with the warrior. Go with an 8 or 9XL. You'll be pleasently suprised when you see speeds higher than what you've calculated. Also, try controlling a 10lb beast moving that fast, good luck.

I know math will not get my an exact speed, but the motor and truck will never go faster than what I've calculated unless my calculations are wrong or the motor specs are wrong. Energy losses are always possible, energy gains are not.

With the 8XL geared to the sky with the fastest readily available pinion and spur combo (20t:47T) the truck will still only do 56MPH.
