What size KV motor?

Hello, I am building the same truck and have planed on the same as suggested by lincpimp but probably the Monster combo with 2200kv motor on 4s but I'll buy a 5 or 6s just for extra kick.

Welcome to the forum! The 2200kv motor on 4s or 5s would be great. I think that on 6s you would need some serious packs, like a pair of enerland 6000 25c packs... That motor will make some power on 6s, but not many batteries will be able to keep up!!!

Well for batteries so far I am going with Zippy R 4s 4800mah haven't purchased 5/6s or Monster. Waiting for combo, charger should be in following week, right now I'm testing CRT 4s Zippy R 4800mah Mamba Max, with novak 25mm fan no Bec Fiegao 6xl no heat sink. Nomadio controled 62/13 tooth spur pinion 20k 7k 3k diffs. big bore 16mm blue springs. So it has power where i like it with room for improvement is on the high end as of yet. There have not been any heat issues esc 100 max motor 100 max batt temp low.

Is that in the buggy or truggy? the 6xl, to most of us, is a useless motor, because it's too high in KV. You seem to have got a good one, but i would think a 7,8 or 9XL would be a better choice
