Looking for something to power my jato/pede Novak 5.5/6.5 or 5800?

I am pretty sure the gtb can handle 7 cells. I would rather have the power and dial it down than not have the power. I do want efficiency/run time though, as I may try racing it eventually and changing packs is not very time efficient.

I have been running rustlers/pedes for quite some time. I do know they take a lot more to be race worthy than other trucks, but I am very very familiar with them. I actually have the xxxt front suspension on my rustler right now (widens it, gives more travel) but I like the jato setup more because you gain a LOT moer travel and width. Since I am mostly a basher, I am thinking I will stay with my rustler/pede and do the jato suspension mod as it will be more offroad worthy than a stock t4 would be. I am not trying to take anything away from the other manufacturers, as I really like the t4, but I do like taking my trucks offroad and having the ability to have a higher ground clearance and more suspension travel is a plus.

Also what about the lrp/reedy motors and controllers? Does anyone know how those compare to the 5.5/6.5?
