Brushless Advice

[Nick]

Hey.

I am deeply wanting a brushless now but still unsure with one thing.

I have a "Triton" charger that can do upto 24 cells so no restrictions there! :D

My chassis is using the older version of Gorilla and can hold 16 cells flat, I moved from stock because I had to use the "hump" formation and a pack fell out and snapped!

I would like to try 16-18 cells but this would mean the "hump" again. So I worry it could happen again, having 18 cells would mean I could have a cell on top each end of the pack so the straps will hold both ends down, with 16 only one side would have a cell on so I have a slope where my strap is - any DIY tips or products that would make it more secure? I wonderd if just foam carved to the correct shape to go in the gap would work?

Would the 9918 comfortably run 16-18 cells or am I pushing it?

I'm not a weight person and don't have scales so hopefully you can give me an idea how much my truck weighs and what sort of brushless motor it needs to be pulled. ;)

I am looking for more speed than torque, although a good balance in between would be a treat. ;)

I have some more parts on the ready (CVDs/Differentials/Driveshaft) too. :)

Many thanks,
Nick.
