2 or 4 pole internals? I am guessing 2 poles, but would be very happy with 4!!! Given the kv is the same (although the 4600 can handle 4s now with the higher rpm limit) I am guessing the internals are updated version of the old 2 pole.

The LRP stock motor rotors have the same problem with snapping. I did get me a new rotor and haven't been able to snap it. The Orion's, LT-motors, x10, x11, x12 lrp, hacker, lehner never snapped a shaft in the same setup. I'm really liking the front bell on the new MM motors.

Is it possible to run the Castele Neu 2650kv motor on the MMP in an RC8 on 4s geared for around 40mph, or would that be pushing it?

That setup sounds fine to me, just about perfect for a fast/fun 1/8 buggy- for racing alot of guys use 3s with that setup, but that depends on your driving style and size of the track really ( for bashing, mo speed captain! )..

As long as were talking the buggy and not the truggy, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Just make sure you have some decent batteries and it should be a lot of fun.

Thanks for the info :)

I've got a 4s Hyperion 6500mah and a 5s Hyperion 6500mah, would they add too much weight? I could get the MMM but would prefer the MMP for the price and it's footprint, and yes it's in the RC8 buggy :)

Stick with the 4s. 5s might push to many amps unless you maintained gearing for 40mph. I would go with a MMM if you want to run 5s.

I suppose it's better to be safe then sorry, the MMM would fit that statement better!

I might get the MMP for my Rustler just to see how that runs on 4s with a 4600kv motor, zoom zoom!
