Thanks for the reply, Mike.

I figured the 10L was appropriate, but I haven't put a brushless system together yet (just Novak 5800 systems so far) so I'm relying more on advice.

I've visited this forum quite a few times over the past couple months and I wanted to let you know that the way you participate in your forums and provide service to your customers has convinced me that I'll be purchasing my motor and speed control from you. I'll be watching for the MGM 120 to become available, and I'll even pick up the gears from you if you sell them. I'll message you as well.

Based on what I've read here (and elsewhere) it sounds like the MGM 120 would be ideal for what I'm doing, since it promises to be relatively inexpensive and still perform well. Are there any other controllers I should consider? 9918? Schulze? Others?

Lastly, I was aware that the Kokam 20C packs are already available; I was specific with the scorpion comment because of the advertized increase in safety and quick-charge ability. According to RCDriver's review and FMA's website, the battery with their charger is capable of a 20min 90% capacity charge. The batteries are also supposed to have on-board circuitry to balance charge rates and cutoff at the right voltage during discharge.
As far as I have been able to see, the current Kokam packs do not have these capabilities/features.

Thanks again.
