What do you guy's think is a better combo for a muggy, and since I'm asking which for my Raze ST Truggy? Thanks

Whichever one generates more torque is what I'd run in the Muggy as it's a heavier truck.

stum - what specs are these? Sorry, I don't know how to read the specs for motors or even where ther are.

I've driven 3 different E-8ight buggies with MMM, 4S, and the following motors: Medusa 60x2000, Castle Neu 2200, Neu 1512 2050

Castle Neu: I didn't really like the Castle Neu. It was jerky in acceleration, very jerky on the brakes, and had the most drag by far when turning off power

Neu 1512 2050kv: This is a very easy to drive motor with plenty of power, but still very smooth and controlled for a non-sensored motor. It had the least amount of off power drag and allowed the buggy to turn better than the others.

Medusa 60x2000 (I own this one): Sits between the two motors in smoothness and ease of driving. IMO much better than the Castle Neu, but the Neu Neu was also a lot better than the Medusa.

Seeing as the Castle Neu 2200 is more comparable to a Neu 1515 or a Medusa 70 or even 80 the differences may be a lot smaller when compared to these more similar motors.
