Before you go looking at two motors.... tell us how fast you need to be for the parking lot? You might be surprised how crazy fast you could make your "race" setup by dropping in a big pinion. That's what I do :)

I like the 2000 and 2200 kv motor choices there. But I have wondered about the 2600kv 1512... it could be geared lower and still run well??? Theoreticly, you would get about the same speed with the 2600kv geared 10/46 as I get with my 1900kv geared 14/46. Seriously I think both methods will work well. Which one is "better" is the $64,000 question. I couldn't get an answer when I was looking to buy... and really there still isn't one.

For most people I would recomend the 1512 2.5D, but for you the 2D may be "rgiht"... it's too bad there isn't like a 2200-2400 option in the 1512.

For a 1515, I think the 1Y 2200kv is a nice choice. That's probably a good motor for you since you are after a little more top end on the track. You should hit about 40mph at 14/46, and we are talking a legit 50mph at 18/46.

I feel your pain dude... I did this last year.

As for the cogging, CC is promising that it will not be a problem with the up-coming software. :drool:
