Welcome to the forums!

That ESC is capable of 70A and 18 cells (at 1.2v/cell). Personally, I'd go with a 9XL and run it on 14 or 16 cells. For 12 cells, you might want an 8XL for the added speed. But then the 7018 might be too small current-wise and you'd probably be better of stepping up to the 9920. If you plan on sticking with 12 cells, I would get the Mamba Max controller and the 8 or 9XL motor.

To me, it doesn't seem like the 7018 will be able to handle very few motors at 12 cells. Do you HAVE to run 12 cells? If you could run 14, preferably 16 cells like Brian said, then you can use a 10L, or 9XL, something like that.

Can you change your cell count?

Thanks guys.
The cell count is flexable although i would prefer to run 12 or even 10. At 12 cells it should so about 35000 which is nice and safe for the motor, it will just be an issue of if i smoke the esc. Guess i will have to try and see.

What kind of speed are we talking here? That is the most important thing, exponentially more power for speed.

I just thought of the Basic XL motors, they should be good with a 7018, can anyone support this? :032:

Well i guess speed isnt so important because I will be racing on a short track with only 1 straight. More important will be punch to clear the jumps. 30mph would be heaps.
