Thanks...I'll plug some numbers into the calc.

So is the only difference between the 9xl and 8xl heat??

Well the 8xl will draw more than the 9xl, on an identical setup. However most geaar for around 40mph, which can be done with both. In my opinion the 9xl is the highest kv for use with 5s and the 8xl is the lowest kv for use with 4s. Since you are using 5s a123, sililar to 4s lipo, and the 2p configuration gives you some capacity, the 8xl would be the better choice.''

Feigao motors do run hotter than the higher end types. No way to get around that. I found with testing that around 1800-200kv motors work best on 5s. I am converting most of my vehicles to 5s and higher. Pity the mm can't do 5s lipo, as it is a great esc (and I have 7).

You should be happy with the mm/8xl/5s a123 combo. Just gear for around 40 (I do 38 personally).
