esc: $270
motor: $433
batteries: $776

how does $1476 for a setup sound?

I agree that HV is the way to go. I am going to order a great planes 60amp hv esc and the programming card. I will try it on my tmaxx first, 10s lipo on a 20xl feigao should be ok, do not think it will overdraw the esc.

Brian, the use of smaller batteries and more cells would probably be cheaper. I have seen 15-20c 2100mah cells go for $10-$15 per cell. And I am sure that a 12s2p setup of those cells would be able to get you about 4hp. Run that thru a decent hv esc, castle, knotronic, etc.

I am actually reconsidering a hv setup for my yusa car. I will test it on 4s with the 2600kv motor, but may sub in a 1300kv and run it on 10s lipo?!?

I agree on parts availability, usually there are one or two parts that break fequently, so you would end up with quite a few rollers!
