This is some good advice. The reason being that if a BL motor is undergeared, it will run inefficiently, and will heat up. So, if you have a larger motor, it will require more of a load.
The HV-Maxx on a low cell count (6 cells?) could work very well. Being sensored, you don't have to worry about cogging.
