Default Battery and Motor question

I have a friend who is going to upgrade from his current setup to a Crawlmaster along with a Mamba Max. Do you think Intellect 1400 cells will be able to handle the amp draw?

Well, I've got the cells, we can go up to 12 cells. What's the optimum voltage?

The KV is low and you can gear up for more wheelspeed, but it works better to volt up instead. It runs well on 6-12 cells, but I would recommend 7-9 cells or 3 cell lipo.
