im looking into playing around with a buggy i have and i am looking to go brushless and with li pos. im looking to run very fast (beat up on my friends nitro los 1/8h cale buggies/trucks) but last anywhere from 15-20 min or more per pack. i am also prob gonna use reg ni mh cells form time to time.
im looking into the race setups from LRP ithink in the 4-6 turn range? something like this???

is that too much..?i wanna go as fast as sa the traxxas rtr bandit deal "advertised 70 plus mph" but also have run time.
im guessing i will have to go with a 3 cell 11.1 lipo setup? what chargers and cells are good..not looking to go overboard here just want to have some decent reliable stuff i can beat on. also im leaning toward the lrp just in case i end up racing it or in a pan car...
also will a 6 cell pack of ni mh have decent run time with a 4-6 turn brushless motor..or should i just get a 10.5 or 13.5 brushless and see what i can do with that...i want run time but i want it to be pretty killer too.
