Project fast 1/8 buggy on a budget

Thanks guys. Well I was looking around and I still cant decide. I mean dont you think for like $50 bucks more I should a better quality/stronger/versitile neu 1512 motor? It just seems to be the winningest choice on this forum. Then cant that motor handle more on the gearing yeilding speeds even faster then the MMM combo. I am a little perplexed. I just dont know enough about these motors or experience and I just want a really versitile motor. I have also read that more often then not the lower KV is better for options where the higher KV motor will just end up producing more heat.

Hoov I am not doubting your suggestion in any way just picking your guys knowledge. I am just one of those guys that want to do it right the first time. And I am probably wrong or am getting confused. I just cant afford two of these motors or the possibility of burning one up.

Guys you are so helpful. I am almost there and thankfully b/c Christmas is around the corner.
