9xl, 5s, Quark 125b + Lipo battery holders?

Getting a 15lb truck to 40mph may be a bit of a chore. I think that 35 would be more realistic and practical.

In any event, you should prepare yourself for some fun.

As a side note and perhaps a piece of advise, if you are venturing into the unknown, it is usually better to err on the side of being conservative than getting things that are too hot. It really sucks when you put something together only to find that you can't run it the way that you want to, because of excessive heat.

Thanks for the advice. 35mph is probably a better target and I would be happy with that. I just kept reading all these posts saying they want their trucks to do 40mph. Being in australia we use kph so 40mph didn't mean much to me.

I would prefer a more conservative setup, one that is easy on the batteries (longer run time) and runs cool then some thing that can do 40mph. But I don't know what would be a more conservative setup. 5s or 11/12xl.

I have to say I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving me.
