I'm running my 9XL on 6s 2p A123 at the moment and it seems OK -It is getting hot but I manageble with HS and fans.

I would start with 9XL or look at 10XL if you havn't ordered the motor yet - I woudn't buy both as you would be better off buying a better motor from the outset.

I concur. The 10xl on 4s or 5s would run cooler and still give great power and speed, geared correctly. Starting to wish I had ordered the 10xl clone now, but never mind.

Sorry for not posting here a while.. Haven't been around, was in vacation in Lapland. But the order is now on its way here, should get em for next week (fingers crossed). Mike is quite fast on shipping..

Anyways have a question about the bk 12020 esc's wires (motor and battery wires). How long should them be? And how much I can cut em or should I at all?

The general feeling is, the shorter the wires, the better basically- less voltage drop and/or resistance. Shorter wires also make for a cleaner install too.

Ok, thanks. I thought that too..

I have been thinking about the esc placement and I notice that it will fit with little modification under the rear axle.
Got some pics about it. Just if it start to burn, its nearly impossible to get it out of there . What do you guys think?

Yea, the output is touching to the heat sink. Thought dremelling it, but have to think something else. It takes quite space, because it has wires on both ends..

If you run the stock rear bumper, then the traxxas wheelie bar will fit fine. There are also a few available from places like Integy and Hotracing- try ebay.
