itll be ok as long as you dont try and put too much of a motor in the car, you would be better off looking at the 150 amp version, at least you know you arent going to blow it up. have a look around as well for a secondhand mamba monster, they seem to be appearing now and then and are capable of higher voltage. the 80a ezrun is 4 cell max, i think the 150a is six cell but not sure.

I've just bought the 150A speedo and it's great. Put it with a 2250kv hobbywing motor and all is well.

Ordering overseas? Don't worry about it, lots of people do it all the time.
