Do you want it driveable or nothing but a street rocket? A 6800 on 2S is more than enough for driving on a track or bashing. Anything more than that is just about only good for driving on-road. Also, the Mamba ESC doesn't get anything more than barely warmer than ambient in my RC18T with the 6800. The motor does get a bit warmer though, but never anything to be worried about.

Also, IIRC, the Tekin motors are nothing more than rebadged Mamba motors. They all have the same kv ratings even. The ESC is the difference.

It is very easy to overpower these little things with brushless, so be careful with the standard more power is better tactic with this. Too much power will just keep your front wheels off the ground constantly or piss you off because you're constantly stripping diffs, no matter how well you shimmed them.
