ok thanks. As i mentioned before, i am poor so any money that i dont have to spend would be great. and you know what kind of performance i am going to get with 8 cells and the rocket 400?

your esc will be fine but the motor wont last very long. these size motors get pretty hot on 8 cells. make sure you have a heat sink because there isnt much air gettin under that body. i wish someone would make higher quality motors for this size. something rebuildable like 540 motors.

hope that helps

should i cut holes in the body to get more airflow to the motor? and how long will that motor last?

it will be faster than stock....I dont have a speedo/tach i say it goes about 20mph. As far as the motors lasting.....depends on how you drive it and maintain it. Full run full throttle = shorter life. I clean my motors and relube them often. (maybe too often). I had about 10 packs through the stock motor (still works) then I put in the x speed. I have about 4 packs through it and it is working fine.
