[highflier]

Hi all,

I have a 7018 controller, I want to convert a e-maxx to brushless.

Can I use that controller with something like a 8xl?

I also want to start with the current packs 2 x 6 cells total 12

Will this setup work?
What performance will I get compared to stock setup?
I have hotbodies 7" wheels. what pinion should I use?

PS. If this setup will work, Later I will upgrade to a 9920 and step up to lipos.
