Question about motors?

Thanks for the welcome!

Would an 80MM be overkill or will the 70MM be OK?

I will basically be running identicle setups in the LST2 and the 8T, as I run MMM's on both and 5S packs on both.

I figured the 70MM for the truggy and the 80MM for the LST2...

Does that sound about right or should I get just 2 70's or 2 80's?

Hey, welcome to the forums!

Anyways, the 70 should be fine for the 8t, but I would go with the 80 for the lst2. The lst2 should be heavier, and I am sure that you will run heavier wheels/tires on the lst2. Amp draw between the two will not be that much difference, but the heavier truck will work the motor/batts harder so runtime will be less. 1600 kv is good for 5-6s. I run a 1500kv hacker on my lst on 6s and it works great.
