Just ran my 1/8 buggy on a 1930/10, MM and 5s Lipo last weekend. It was plenty of motor. It was actually wheelieing on hard starts and basically floating the front end off the ground anytime I had the throttle punched.
I had a small problem with some of the soldering work I did when chaging the 1930/6 (d config) over to a 1930/10 (s config). But other than the the motor was stellar. Ran like a champ. I also switched from a Quark 80B to a MM at the same time. I still think the Quark is a much smoother controller than the MM. Even with the Lehner I had some minor cogging issues on the MM. Nothing to worry about mind you its just that the Quark never had any and I'm spoiled now.

The 1930 is a great size motor for a 1/8 buggy IMO. For track use I would really need drop down to a 4s pack. But for bashing that 5s was killer. All ran plenty cool. I didnt temp it cuz I never felt anything with may hand that was of concern to me. I was able to hold onto all parts of the motor and controller as long as I wanted.

I origianally started off running thise buggy on a Neu 1515 and a Quark then dropped it to a Neu 1512 now down to a 1930. I really feel that those big motors are a waste in the buggies. They are just not big and heavy enough to need them. and the smaller motors are easier on the esc and still deliver the all the performance you can possibly use. I ordered a Feigao 540L/15 to try out next. I'm looking for a track motor on 5s and I think that that should be a low enough kv to work well, stay cool and still have more power than needed.

Good luck with the 1930. I think you will like it. I'm interested to hear how it goes for you.
