Do a quick search in here, someone is making the pistix again.

Forgive my hesitation with you on the speed deal. I have seen a lot of people say they want X speed and really have no clue what X speed really is in the real world, that's all. If you have been there then you know.

I really think the overheating issues with the revo is the 1.5d. That motor is just too hot to run on 6s. Going back to the 1y 2200kv is a better bet. I have the CC version in my LST2 and have run it in the Revo as well and it is a great motor. In the LST2 geared slightly above 60 it never got over 145. This is in 90+ degree heat with 90+ percent humidity.

I think for you and what you want the phoenix is the right ESC to run on 12s until CC comes out with the HV Monsters. Of course you can always look at the higher voltage MGM's as well. They are expensive but very solid controllers. Startup is not as smooth as the Mamba but if you are going for speed that will hardly matter in the long run.
