Hmm. I thought those motors were efficient at higher than 40k rpm for some reason. I'd like to have decent runtime and high speeds, so I'm going to need something that has enough torque to be geared up without heating up. I'd rather go with 2s since I have 4 e-molis, but am afraid that current will be too high and I won't get the runtime I want (~30 minutes), so that's why I was thinking of using 3s. Although 2s will be lighter and the truck weighs hardly anything at all...
