vxl?
mamba max (if so enter kv amount)

also how much of a difference is it from a 7.4V lipo battery than 11.1V lipo battery?
would i have to use the balancer on the truck with a lipo? no right?

not exactly, the kt rating of the vxl is higher, it makes mmore torque so u CAN gear it higher

The MM7700 may be faster on a 2s LiPo.

RE: why is it like this?
becuz u need motor rpm to get speed ok?
More voltage equals more rpm.
The vxl only has 3500kv. very low. it will only give u a high speed if you put more volts to it to get more rpm.
stop posting soo many threads, use ur questions page
