Which brushless motors to get? -

I have 2 Warrior 9920 controllers. I bought 3 3cell lipos from maxamps(the 6000mah).
Question 1: Which BK motor should I buy to go with my rustler and a 3cell lipo? The rustler has stampede size tires on it.(probably even going to get the adapters so I can run revo tires on my rusty)
Question 2: Which BK motor should I get for my e-revo and 2 3cell lipos, so I need a motor that will go well with 6cell lipo.
I will be bashing both of these trucks pretty hard so I need something that isnt going to overheat when I run them hard and fast.
Also could someone tell me the difference between the 9920 and the 12020 controllers? I would gladly pay the price difference for the 12020 if it ran a little cooler.
Oh one more thing. I need a good voltage cutoff for the lipos. I want one that cuts the power rather then something that just has an LED indicator. Will I need 2 voltage cutoffs for my revo? one for each battery?
I'd go with the 12s, that way you have extra torque on hand so you can gear it up for speed runs if you want, or gear it down for extended runs, and either way it will run pretty cool. I sure hope your rustler tranny is built up, because that setup will eat it alive.
Yes my tranny has a few upgrades. I currently have a BK 7s motor in my rusty with a 8000mah 2 cell battery. The power is insane but it gets way to hot. I'm hoping that going to 3 cell will fix my overheating problem without losing to much of the power that I currently enjoy with my 7s.
For 3s Lipo, I would take the 10s over the 12s. The 380c6L is also an excellent choice(this would probably be my overall choice).
For 6s Lipo on the Revo, I would use a 1940/8 or 1940/9. The 1950/7 or 1950/8 are also excellent choices. The wanderer 8xl or 9xl would also be a nice budget minded option. :)

I'd advise against running maxx or revo sized wheels/tires on the rusty/pede trucks. They put too much strain on the small 1/10th axle stubs, bearings, driveshafts, tranny, steering arms, etc. etc.
