I'm seriously thinking about going with the SC8e. Had an SC10 on order but cancelled when I heard they were coming out.

What kind of performance could I expect using a single 11.1V lipo vs. using two 7.4V packs like they show in the pics? I plan to race. I don't need to have the fastest truck there, but want to be competitive. Would the single pack be a realistic option and if so, what motor / ESC would be a good match?

Thanks
