I'm trying to learn about RC cars and plan a build for a Et 48 2.x(whatever version comes out will probably be the one I get).
I am doing a long range FPV RC car.
I am trying to populate a build list, so that when I'm ready I'm ready to roll and can buy it all(as well as understand about how much it will cost).
A few things I will be looking for in the build.
1.) VERY good cooling. I want to be able to run this thing as long as possible without overheating.
2.) Good for both on road, and off road. I don't need to be amazing at either, but would like to be good at both.
3.) Be able to go high speeds on road without tires ballooning.
4.) Not worried about doing jumps/tricks/wheelies or anything.
5.) ESC/Motor powerful enough to deal with a large amount of added weight from cameras, receivers/antennae, extra fans/heatsinks, potentially belted tires, etc.
6.) Following from 5... an engine/ESC that can run without overheating. Not sure if this means "overbuilding" with a bigger engine/esc, and only running it at 75%(would like to hear people's thoughts on this).
7.) what about using multiple batteries, or even something like this 22,000 mAh 6S battery(or something like it, more than the standard you would see for RC cars)

8.) Not sure if I want to go 6S or 8S. I think 6S would give me plenty of power. But I wonder if an 8S system might offer more capacity, as well being able to run at 75% which might allow it to run longer without overheating, versus running a 6S system at 100%?
Mainly, I'm just looking for some guidance, maybe some part recommendations, whatever people who are knowledgeable can offer. I'll leave the "FPV" part out of it really, as that probably isn't this forum's expertise. I'm moreso for now concerned about building the car itself, with the caveats(including added weight, need to run a long time/distance at fast speed without overheating or running out of battery).
Generally I am trying to build a decently fast RC car that has the battery life, cooling, engine power to drive for miles ideally without breaking down. I'm not sure how possible this is, but regardless of what the reality is, I want to try to push it as far as I can in that direction, within cost-effective reason. But if I'm already spending a lot for the FPV/long range, and body kit, I'm not afraid to venture a little into cost inefficiency to achieve longer/faster run times.
