Nice motor choice. I have a Neu-Castle 2200kV also...very stout motor. I will say though that the new Hobbywing motors are 4-pole motors. I have their new 4168SL 2250kV motor and it is very nice looking and performs very well. Runs cool and similar to other 4-pole motors I've run (Neu-Castle and Medusa). It has a bit less resistance when turning by hand compared to both Neu-Castle and Medusa. I think HW stepped up with their new motors, but that puts them closer in price to their more established and well-known competitors (Neu-Castle and Tekin).
Nice to know the KD-9XL runs well in the truggy. I was looking at that for a backup motor also. I've had KD motors before (not the 9XL though). One word of advice is put some glue on the endbell as it may pop off if you don't.
