To keep racing weight down, I'll probably start with just 12race matched cells (GP3700+). It's no problem to buy another motor when I make the switch to lipos.

So how many turns should I be looking at in an XL can? 8?

an 8xl would do or you could get a lehner 19 series but they are more expensive but are built better :cool:

What tooth pinion do you recommend for this set up 9920 and 8xl, I'll be using the stock slipper for now.. thanks Steve

i agree with the other guys about the novak hv. i have got one my self and have had nothing but trouble . thermal shut downs even when use the reconnend pion and spur gears from novak . had to go to 12pion and 72 spur to fix problem .but then you lose speed and get alot of torque . iam also looking at going to the 8xl and warrior .

Thanks for all the comments, but I have to ask how many of you race? Is the 8XL too much for racing a small tight track designed for stadium trucks & 1/10th scale buggies? When should one consider an L can, or even something like the HV-MAXX? My electric Revo weighs 10.5lbs loaded up with 12 cells & 23MM/40 series bowties, and I haven't really tried to get the weight down yet (still has all steel push/steering rods/pivot balls). I know some of the nitro guys have Revos down in the low 6lbs range.

never consider something like the HV and what tooth spur are you using

What is the difference between the 8/9/10 XL?

the number is the turn an 8xl would be faster than a 10xl and a 7xl would be faster than a 8xl
but with a 10xl you would get better runtime than with a 7,8,9xl
