You can buy a nice 4mm drill/tap set from dubro for under $10 if you don't already have one. It's pretty easy to tap out the aluminum. Just make sure you remove the end bell from the motor to tap it so you don't damage the motor internals.

I'd gear for around 40mph and work around there.

It will be hard to get to 20 min with the 2650. Might want to look into the 8000mah 3S.
You can run 3S with the 2010 ROAR rules.
See page 66 of the ROAR rule book.

The other way is go low KV to make the system more effecient. I think you will need more then 5000mah to get 20 min still.

Thanks
