I agree with AAngel totally. Some of what kv motor you pick depends on your gearing. If you have a vehicle with a lot of gear reduction, you can use a higher kv. If using a vehicle with low gear ratio (buggies/truggies) then a lower kv motor is best. In my 1/8 scale buggy, which is relatively heavy, I have the 1512 2d (2600kv) on 4s and it does surprisingly well on 4s and 46T/16T gearing. Wayy too fast for the track though...
