I don't. Which is why I'm offering to sell my MT2 and X-Terminator :018:.

2. With the 8XL and 4S you are going to be at 30843 rpm. I've heard that the "sweet spot" for Feigao's is 35K rpm. Is this a problem, or not really?

I'm not taking issue with any of your choices, I'm just always trying to learn more. :)

Sleebus,
1. glassdoctor seems to have had good luck with a sub-2000kv motor in his 1/8 buggy(s). I could go with a 7XL, but would prefer to use a less "hot" motor. But now that I think about it, I could get away with using the 14t pinion I already have laying around as well as a 44t spur with the 7XL... You may have just changed my mind...

2. I don't think lower RPMs is an issue for Feigao motors. Some guys run as low as 25,000 RPM, and simply gear up to get more speed (without adverse effects).
