Jammin X-1 CRT motor selection

Sorry, I wasn't yelling, just wanted to make my intentions clear. So will the 7XL be a good choice? (on 4s) I dont have to hit 50, just want a truck that is pretty fast. I have a stampede with a mamba max 5700 on 3s now and I love the power and speed it has. I'm assuming the truggy will not come close to that kind of power/ weight ratio though. If the 7XL will keep cool, give decent runtimes and speed it will be enough to hold me until I get the monster max.

So, are you running the less expensive motor now because of the limited ESC's available, or for dollars? If it's dollars, then I have no options for you. If it's due to ESC, why not build with a great motor that you can deal with now and later? I'm going to run a Lehner 1940/10 hi-amp with the MM and a 4s in my X1 CRT and eventually go to a 6s. Just a thought.

And just a word to the newer guys (I guess this would include me) . . . this forum is not like the typical forums out there. There's no flaming, a lot of help, and a ton of knowledge. IMO - best forum on the web. So please just wait a minute before you respond in a way that might seem abrassive. The guys here are truely trying to help.

Good luck whichever way you go, the CRT is sick.
