The H.V. wont take you there. You need a highend combo if you wanna go 40mph for 30 minutes.

MambaMax, 8XL, and a minimum of 8000mah 4s lipos will be close to doing that... that's the cheapest combo that will do what you aks, imo.

This one sounds good to me...

BP-Revo has used the 6.5 and has recently switched to the 4.5 in a Revo, so he might be able to offer some input if you really want the HV.

BTW: Welcome to the forums!

Do you have upgraded diffs? You definately need to upgrade those to handle all that power.

You may consider a higher voltage set up to. It will be easier on the whole
sytem to run 40 for 30 mins. Not sure on the money you looking to spend
either. You could go with a 9920 5s lvc 8xl. neu or lehner motors for more
money but cooler running. Some 8000 mah lipos are a good idea for this
runtime.

Welcome to the forum to.


Peace!

Okay. How about a 1950/10 + MGM24160 ESC and x2 3s 7500mah FlightPower packs?

The sum would go over $900 easily. Pretty costy, but with no doubt, a killer combo!

That would depend on the upgrades you have on your truck. Do you have
batteries already as well? What about tire size? The larger tires will be hard
driveline in truck. Have you put any kind of diff upgrades in? The hv is not a
bad set up. If you wire for a lvc and run the lipo 8000s on it. You won't be
to bad. It don't have the power that the other systems do. Just it is less
complicated. If you have a heavy truck you may want to stay with the
6.5 version.
