i was using lower, 30 to 45c cells, now i use the nanotech 65-130c lipos and must say they give loads more punch without seeming to be snatchy, love em.
but it would not suit everyone, as mentioned, the modern esc/brushless etc can be tuned up or down and truly make any car/motor/set up adjustable in every way.
I am still old school style so i have a decent power in the motor and a nice esc and leave it standard, till the thumbs get a little more used to the speed and thaw out from the many years frozen out of the game, I would stick to not to much power.....
And thats my advice like others have said, start with a 7.5t and you can always make it quicker of needed, easier than detuning a mad man 5.5t...
but we all drive differently so its all good advice........... for different people....... Maybe buying a couple different motors, 2nd hand to get an idea what suits you and the car and then selling them off and buying new when you know...... thats a financial option of course....
