Which motor for my Buggy?

Hi,
I currently have MEDUSA 36-60 1800kv motor with EXRUN 80A on my XRAY buggy, running with 4S gearing to ~35mph.
Its directly attached to the chassis with Novak Motor Plate.

I'm very happy with the performance of this motor, a lot of punch and very long run time. I also like that the motor is very small and light.
The only issue is that the motor is running a little hot around 160F.
I live in hot area, typical temp at noon is 95F.

I'm looking for additional motor setup for my buggy and I have two options from previous projects:
1. NEU 1515 1Y/F (2200kv) that have special design to be attached to the chassis, so no additional cost here, not sure that the EXRUN 80A can take it.
2. NEU 1512 2.5D/F (2050kv) I will need to buy the Tekno motor mount kit so I can attach it to the chassis, that will be an extra weight and cost.

What do you say? which option is the best for me? I'm running only on the track so I want to keep weight low and the running time high.

1512 2050kv is a buggy motor. The 1515 is possible but it to much according to many to decently run in a buggy.

As spare motor you could also consider buying a 1512 1800kv.

The xerun 80A can handle buggy setups that go up to ~40mph, so no problem no matter the motor. If you want to gear to 40mph take the 1515, but for 35mph the 1512 is enough, altough the 1515 will run a little more efficient.

Thanks, I already order the 1518 and 1520 to my Truggy. Not sure if I need the 1512 1800kv since I already have the 2050kv version.

Great! so I can attach the 1515 motor w/o upgrading my ESC and W/O any motor plate. That should keep my buggy light w/o any additional cost.
