Also, what is the deal with such a high kv? Is the goal for a fast buggy? (I don't want to read through the whole thread - I'm lazy ) Besides, a pinion that small will see faster wear. Depending on exactly how fast you want to go, I would shoot for a slightly lower kv, something around 3500-4000 and use a larger pinion - something in the 14T range.
Yeah, that is true about the tires...

As for the motor, he can get it for 40 bucks... I would try to sell it off and make some money, and then buy something lower kv, like a medusa 60-70mm motor with kv around 2200. On 4s that can take 14-16t pinions and run in the mid 40s.

If you want to sell me that motor I will find a use for it...
