Well now I'm even less sure which one to take.
Originally I would have leaned towards the 2D because it has a little less kV.
But now that I've read the thread you linked where Bernie said that D-wounds have no place in ground vehicles...

Please someone just tell me which motor of those two to get.
I'm not really interested in using the motor with timing.
I don't want a gazillion miles per hour top speed.
I want torque for wheelies and control in the air for back and/to front flips.
So quick spool up would probably be interesting as well.
Apart from that the motor shouldn't run hot, but that shouldn't be a problem for a Neu 1415 in a 1:10th scale 4wd monster, should it?
I would most likely run it at the lowest possible gearing of 12/54.
12T seems to be the smallest possible for 5mm shaft.

So, mighty RCM crowd, what's your verdict?
