Thinking of an Emaxx for sure, 20 3800 cells, Feigao 11L motor, 9920 controller. What do you think? Over 50mph and still have good runtime? 24V should get the motor shifting into 50-60mph if geared high enough? Figure high voltage/low amp draw = better battery life, so if geared for only 45mph maybe 10-15 mins racing on a fairly open track on grass? If the car stays in one peice long enough :)

Initally my friend is getting an Emaxx and going with whatever setup I recommend to him (bit of a foolish thing to do..:D but hey he has the money and wants a truck that isn't going to fall apart like his Academy) but in a month or two when my budget allows I will go with the same setup if it works well.
The matched sets come in multiple of 6, so 6, 12, 18, 24 cells can be matched up. 18 cells matched would be about $105. 24 would be about $140. The 7xl on 18 cells could get you 45mph for 10+ minutes with pretty insane torque. you would, of course, need some nice drive train parts to handle the power!
