Questions before the project starts (e_maxx)

[highflier]

Hi all I have a lot of questions.

1) I have 10-12C lipos 3s2p 5200 MAH. If I run a 9XL would be ok with 6s2p (22 volts 5200 MAH) or do I need to reconfig my batterys to allow 6s3p (22 volt and 7800 MAH)

2) The cells are the older wide Irate cells, Any idea which chassis would allow the cells to fit?

3) I am very not happy with the stock steering setup on the E-maxx even after I upgraded to Hitec 645 servo, I think I need a dual servo setup. So again which chassis is best

4) I saw a chassis that was a full 4" longer then stock. I think I could get batteries in that, Comments on a chassis that long?


I am sure I will have more questions but this should get me started. My #1 goal is a reliable basher. #2 is I would like decent run time. And of course since this is a basher project $$ is important. Looks are not that critical. I plan on lots of jumping and would want Speed up to Mid 40's.

I am leaning towards many fastlane upgrades since I like there warrenty.

But I don't want to pull the trigger on any parts until I get the chassis figured out and how I can reuse the Lipos I got. (keeping cost down), I got the lipos for airplanes.
