Yes, I would go for that.
6s setup with a 1300 - 1700 kv Neu 1515 & MMM V3 for when you are living in the US. Medusa 36-70-1600 kv would also be a good motor to start with although medusa has passed away....
For europe I would suggest to buy a MGM compro 8s 140 A controller directly at MGM compro. http://mgm-compro.com/index.php?cat=...for-cars-boats. They have a quick service and 2 year 'idiot proof' warranty. Price difference is just a few euro with a MMM V3 over an official agent. A very nice option they have now is a complete waterproof ESC!!!!! No fans needed on these 'though' boys. I am very pleased with the service and feedback on questions etc of MGM compro. I myself use both 2 160A 6s and 1 140A 8s MGM compro controller.
Lehner 1950 or 2240 series would also give terrific motor and can be ordered directly at Lehner.. http://www.lehner-motoren.de/ms22.php.

I would advice to use a UBEC (castle creations) as a bec is like a little heat source in every controller. A good setup with a decent esc doesn't need a fan.... For that a 6s for a truggy gives a much more reliable, efficient and cooler setup than one on 4s. 4 s for a buggy I see as a minimum and for the fact that a truggy is heavier 5 s seems to be the minimum to choose for, so go for 6s.

I see no need for using a sensored system.. Buggies & Truggies are to be driven.. not to use as crawler... I've no 'cogging' issues with the lower kv / higher voltage setups.
Althoug big I noticed that the hobbywing 150 A controller (also at RC-monster available) does a very good job. A friend of me has 'fried' ad MMM v3 is waiting already more than 3 months (yes 3 months!!!!! wat about customer service of ?Castle Creations for european customers... because of that MGM compro is the controller manufacturer to buy in europe, service = 10 days max!!!) for the replacement and is meanwhile running a hobbywing EZrun 150A. It runs without any problem and seems even to run more smooth than the MMM he has (but is waiting for to return...).

Where do you find those Waterproof versions?

I always asked myself what the difference is between the E-Series and Z-Series. The only thing I know is that the Z-Series are newer than the E-Series, right?

The waterproof version is an option you need to ad to the ESC once you picked out the rigth one. http://mgm-compro.com/prod_opts.php?...&prod_type=reg WR, water resistant version. A picture of this version is at the home/introductionpage of MGM compro. And yes, it also works under water... but other systems of your RC8T might fail to do.

The Z series has an extra port for adding a black box to log all data, for that somewhat more $$$. Otherwise equal so if you are not a 'tech freak' it is a waste of money.
