Well, the problem with the plettenberg motors is their availability in the US, another problem with them is their KV ratings; and here is the deal;

For your buggy you'll have more than enough power/torque from the maxximum. But its KV is too high for my likings. It could work, but it might be a hot setup.

The bigmaxximum on the other hand is more suitable in terms of KV, but it's simple over powering a buggy. It can toss around a 7 kg heavy savage with authority and constant wheelspin.

Did you considered a Neu motor? they come in a larger variety of KV and sizes. and they are broadly available in the US. Though they might not look as nice as the plettenbergs (if you fancy blue).
