I have been in the nitro arena for quite some time and I am intrigued by all this new electric stuff. So I nabbed a gorillamaxx electric conversion chassis.

Quite an ambitious project here, but I am looking for high speed and some nice run time to rival the old nitro version of my Revo.

So far I am thinking of

MGM Compro 160 amp, 24 cell brushless car controller
Neu 1515 1.5d/F Sensorless Brushless Motor
Apache 4s 14.8v 3700mah LiPo Battery Pack

I know the MGM will support up to 8S lipo's, but does it have to be 8s built into one pack, or can I do the old solder on extra leads to the controller and connect up 2 4s lipo's? I know the resistances will increase a bit between batteries and controller. But what else would this do.. if it can even be done at all?

Would it be best to just use a single 8s pack?

I am looking for uber speed from this thing and a decent run time.. at least 10 minutes.

Suggestions, comments or criticism (constructive please) would be appreciated.
