7xl specs?

From a racers point-of-view, the XL motors might be on the heavy side, though. But I think the additional torque makes up for the extra weight.

See, this is the first time that I've really heard anything specific as to why the 7xl would be a great motor for a 1/8 car or truck, now it's starting to make sense. Just for fun, if I were to put a 7xl in my Savage, would it still run okay on 12 cells, or would the new minimum be 14? I heard someone mention that running a 7xl in their 1/8 buggy on 12 cells was still very good, but I don't know if I want to give my Ofna's 2800xl the boot just yet.
