Hi Sleebus.jones,

I think the gear ratio for the revo is higher compared to a buggy. So the 7XL motor or esc will not be as stressed in the revo as in a buggy. This in turn means one can use a slightly hotter motor with higher amp draw in a revo.

My personal experience is driving to the direction of 5S & 8XL on 13/46 gearing. 7XL on 5S on 13/50 gearing for my buggy is marginal.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.:o

Regards,
Joe Ling
