Isn't the gtb only rated for 6 cells? The 5.5 is the hottest of the motors. The challenge on the track is getting that power to the ground without swapping ends. the 6.5 is a bit milder and so on...
The big bonus with the gtb is its ability to run all of Novaks brushless motors, except the HV. Additionaly if you have the need to run brushed it can do that as well. I have a rebuilt sealed in box ss5800 that I have used in my xxxtII. I liked it and was able to stick with the nitro 1/10 pretty well save my driving. I may find a buyer for it and pick up the GTB though. It'd be nice to clear that triple consistently rather than having to downside the second jump. Frankly I'd unload what you have and go for a new 1/10. Not sure of the wisdom of switching things around?
