I have decided that to be safe with the esc, I will go for the MGM 160. I am now considering a 7XL, or if a 6XL would work, I will take that. I know I will not go above 12 cells. If a 7XL has been used on a 5s lipo, I think a 6XL would be good on 12 cells. I will use the rc-monster heat sink motor clamp. Runtime for me is not an issue.

using this conector gets you double voltage not runtime right. FOr example if you used this with a quark, and 2p2s 4000mah maxx amps would you have (1) a 8000mah 2s battery pack or (2) a 14.8volts going to the controller at 4000mah.

If you used this parallel plug with a quark, and 2p2s 7.4V 4000mah maxx amps would you have: 7.4V with 8000mah

Batteries in parallel double current...not voltage.

Batteries in series double voltage...not current.

Brian has a good cheat sheet for this on his profile.

I have realized just what I was buying and how much it would cost: 2 Wanderer XL motors, 2 mgm 16016 escs, dynamite quad battery chassis, strobe slipper

I want to have a good setup so I will use the mgm 12032, neu 2215/2y, fastlane machine chassis, 32 cells, ue diffs, and gear 48/64. Using BrianG's calculator this works 65mph. The motor rpm would be 28,800. Could the motor and speed control handle this setup. I found a video of an alluminum emaxx on 16 cells doing 360 degree backflips with a plettenburg bigmaxximum, I want to try a 720 degree backflip. The video is here:

I will post video of my truck and setup.

Although the esc is rated for 32 cells, I would be weary of actually using 32, maybe 28/30 to be on the safe side. As for that video..... yeah, got some power in that set up.....

So what controller is good for 32 cells and the Neu 2215/2y? No Schulze. Also looking at lehner. How would the Neu 2215 compare to the lehner 2240, 2250, or the 2280 in terms of power? What could push the most power? Does the 2280 have a 5mm shaft? Would you suggest a neu or lehner motor if in the United States? What motor is physically more durable (outer can and internals)?
