The tekin buggy motors (1200Watts) are a little weak compared to a Castle 2200kV motor which is standard 1500Watts motor. They heat up and have lack of torque and efficiency in 1:8 buggy. If you want absolutely a tekin combo, take the truggy motor instead. Note that tekin truggy motors are little less powerfull than the Castle too...
the mbx5 races great with electric motor ;)
