To me the 2200 kv motor looks to be perfect for 5s for normal running, it would be geared slightly lower than an 9xl on 5s, but not much different.

You would then have the option of running it on 6s for speed runs or the like. For track use, most seem to think that 4s and a 2200kv motor is enough, but all they are trying to do is run at nitro speed, mainly cause that is all the track is designed for, and the vehicle may not be able to handle the extra speed.

A lower kv motor like 1800-1900 kv would be optimium for 6s, IMO. I routinely push my 7xl over 35k rpm, truck is geared for 40mph. I see no reason why a higher quality motor could not handle 40k rpm.

On a side note, does anyone here run a 1515 on 6s lipo in a maxx or revo truck? Seems like too much motor, but I guess the gearing will detirmine the load. And the motor should run cooler.
