Thanks.

I need to clarify.

I'm intrigued on how I could run two batteries in parellel as well as what is the best battery size/ESC/motor combo to go with. I'm leaning toward getting the Tekin V3 RC8T conversion kit and building from there. I like to keep mechanical brakes and a clutch to increase tunability.

Bear in mind that I know NOTHING about lipo. I'm trying to read up and talk to people who have been there and done that to get smart.
