8000w in a baja 5b ????

hehehe ... 8000 Watt and 2 wheel driven. I don't think you will ever be able to put this amount of power to the ground. A lehner 3040 is not needed. Some german guys converted 1:5 touring cars with a Lehner 2250. Wheighing 13.9KG (30.4lbs) they were able to reach 95mph (145km/h). With a 10S/3P 4000 lipo they needed 125-160A while accelerating (around 4.5-5.5KW input). From 0 to 95mph in 4.8 seconds. They used a prototype ESC from BK -> Cool 250/40 250Amp/ 40 cell Nimh.

MGM 12032 Car/Boat should provide up to 5.5KW. I guess this should suffice to outaccelerate any Baja with the hottest modified gas engine. Runtime will be the biggest drawback on an electric version and/or the cost to get a pack with enough mah (>10000mah+).

Wheightwise a Neu 1527 is comparable to a Lehner 2250. With a Neu 22X (Bam) you would be on the safe side.
