help w/motor choice for my mbx-5 on road project
 

Ok guys....my set up:

mmm esc
5s 20c 4k and 5s 5k 30c

I have now a 1512 1.5YF 1900kv. On the speed calc. I can expect about 42-45 or so. I am looking for 50 -55 or so. What do you guys think would be better:

1. cc/neu 2200
2. T8 2000 truggy motor
3. or a different 1512 or T8 buggy motor

I will be running this in p-lots mostly and am thinking that the truggy motors should be a better choice to help keep temps down. I will be doing speed runs mostly as well as a little racing

Tricky one...

I'd go for the ccneu myself- slightly higher kv is ideal for 4s & 5s use, and the extra length will provide a bit more grunt to pull taller gearing should you need it. Tekin truggy motor would be good too, but the exploding rotor issue puts me off a bit, even if they are taking care of casualties so to speak.

I would look in the 1/8 onroad thinktank thread for more ideas too.

I poked around in that thread already...it was my inspiration for this project. On 5s w/the ccneu it should scream. My mbx-5T on 5s w/the ccneu is stupid fast and that weights 12 lbs.

Tekin is taking care of the rotor issue....even so, I may still stay away from them for now.
