Default Emaxxxxxxxx Upgrade

I really want to upgrade my EMAXX to the best motor possible. (of course possible means not too expensive.)

So I'm planning to get a super rooster ESC and a set of 3000mAh 9.6volt 8 cell battery from all batteries outlet (are they really good batteries?).

now.. what motor will allow me to run 9.6 volts?

Will the super rooster work with 2 8 cell batteries?? that's 16 cells... i don't know if the specs limit is total cells.. i think it's 10 cell limit.. if not, what other reversible ESC will I be able to use??

OR should I just run the stock motor with a 7 cell battery??

What gears should i be running for the best balance?

http://www.funrcboats.com/StoreEVX.htm Get this for your Emaxx, it is made to handle dual battery packs and better engines. This speed controller is only about 20$ more than a super rooster, but is worth it if you're using a emaxx. (mainly cuz it was built specifically for it)

AS FOR THE QUESTION ON THE 3000 MAH BATTERIES IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU ARE SET UP FOR, IF YOU ARE SET UP NI-CAD DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BEING ABLE TO CHARGE .......NIMH.........BECAUSE MORE THEN LIKELY YOU'LL DO MORE HARM TO THE BATTERY THEN JUST CHARGING..........NI-CAD CHARGERS DONT HAVE THE ABILITY OF SENSING THE PEAK OF A NIMH BATTERY SO IT'LL JUST KEEP CHARGING UNTIL IT ( THE BATTERY) SELF TERMINATES...........SO TO SPEAK..AND JUDGING BY YOUR WALLET I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU GET BUMMED OVER THE WRONG BATTERY AS FOR THE ESC CASEYDDR HAS THE RIGHT IDEA
ID CHECK INTO IT
