Need help with buggy conversion

Well, I'm not sure if you thought of the current draw of the 7XL.

The 7XL is pretty close in KV to the 10L. However, the problem then is that it is a 95A draw motor. You are running at the ragged edge of the limits of the ESC at that point. Also, a 4Ah pack (assuming it's 20C) ain't gonna feed that motor, because you're looking at 80A continuous out of that pack. To me, the 7XL seems to be asking a lot of the pack and ESC...I may be wrong, I'm sure someone will tell me if I am. :)

I think I'd get the 8XL, which is 83A, pretty darn close to the current capability of the 4Ah pack and definitely easier on the ESC. Personally, I'd prefer a R/C that's slightly slower, but doesn't catch on fire! :005:

Or maybe I'm just screwed in the head with my above thought process? :032:

As for the pinion, search tower for "century motor gear 1.0"
