thanks

And knowing thta the 1:8 OR guys use up to 22,2v (6 cell LiPo) - could that be an idea? (Less Amps and higher volts, together with a small size motor) From what I've heard a high voltage setup generates less heat build up = more runtime.

Any help is highly appreciated!
Also, most importantly, let me repeat three times:

DO NOT USE THE NOVAK Mongoose Micro Brushless System!

Well, actually you can use the Novak's or any ESC for brushless motor, just don't use the motor that comes with the Mongoose if that's what you have.
I just don't want you to make the same mistake that others have.
