180 or just go 260??

hey, i've been gone for awhile but my friend brought xmods up again and i can't resist moding so...

right now i've gone as far as to take a stage 2 advance the timing and put SB mags in. But i need more.

It seems that the best bang for the buck is the either a bigger motor or lith-ions. I've read through some threads and found that the first thing tried as far as motors go was a 180. Wel i founfd the list of options on 180's which is great. I'm thinking the Team Orion stock minus 10 turns. - sound ok?

The only thing holding me back is that i've heard that winding a 18- is alot harder than winding a 130 - which i've never atempted. I'm willing to try but then, after searching more i found that there is a 260 that fits well. I think it was like a "hoppin hydro" or sumthin. any coments on it? does it fit w/o modification besides being longer? What voltage it designed to run on?

If i use bigger motor are there pinions with more teeth? B/c it seems the bigger moters have good torque but b/c the are for a higher voltage they have the same or lower rpm output - and speed is one of the most important things to me since torque at some point becomes usless. Some one had posted some that worked but had to be sleved - any word on these?

I'm also planning on doing the fet mods b/c i'm sure i'll need it. How many volts can those 180's/260's take? B/C i want to eventualy do lithiums - maybe multiple lith poly's with that "V2.2 Power Regulated Power Management Board" WAY down the road.

Wow that was aolt - i'm sorry to take up your time, i hope u guys can help me!
