People who haven't tried a 380 bl motor have no idea what they're talking about when they say 380 motors aren't powerful enough. You will be amazed when you see a 380 in action. Lipomax put a single 380 motor (twist 42) on 4s lipo in his e-maxx and it only reached 85 degrees F. It also went 30 mph in first gear.

Of course I need to know what batteries you're going to use before I can recommend a setup. My 540 6s is less powerful than my 380c 9t, but my batteries only average at 1.18 volts/cell under a 10 amp load. With better batteries, the 540 might be faster, but there's no chance it will ever beat the snapping accelertion of the 3809t.

In most cases, a lehner basic motor or a 380c L motor would be best in a pede, or even a 540 8 or higher turn S can, but I don't think a 540 L motor would ever be suitable for a pede.
