A mad brushless setup help

In my opinion I will choose the motor first then I can adapt to the batteries because I think the motor is more important than the batteries are at this stage.
I heard that nimh batteries are better than lipo 1 reason is: because nimh can discharge faster is that true? the world fastest car and boat used nimh.

The power comes from the batteries.The more power you can fit in your chassis (in terms of batteries) the faster you can go.It's very easy to select a motor that can extract the maximum power available from your batteries.I was going to suggest a 1930 at around 45K to 50K rpm for whatever voltage you're running,maybe even a 1940 if the load (gearing and drag) will be high enough,but again that depends how much voltage you can fit under the hood.

There are Lipos capable of high discharge too,the bottom line is you can fit more power in the same space with Lipos.

You need to get your batts sorted first. Finding the correct motor for your batts will be easy, its just a matter of selecting what turn motor u want. Finding batteries for a particular motor, and then fitting them in ur chassis can be much harder. So choose batts first, and then we can help u with motor choice
