We have a lot of electric 1/8th scale running around in my area. Given that I own two Mamba Monster 2200kv combos and three Tekin combos w/four motors: 1350kv, 1700kv, 2050kv, 2250kv, I have come to the following conclusion:
Mamba Monster = Monster Trucks
Tekin = Buggy and Truggy
Everyone will have their own opinion on this, but from my own experience, go with Tekin when you need solid control. The CC Monster is too abrupt and is more for a wow factor or where tiny input is not noticed, hence, monster trucks. I had the Monster combo in by converted XT8 and it was horrible. My previous experience with it was on my ERevo which was a blast. I had to dial it WAYYY down on the XT8 and even then, it sounded like it was destroying the drive train. I switched to the Tekin 2250kv Truggy combo and BAM, it was beautiful. Everything was so much smoother just at default settings and my drive train was safe again.
Some quick tips:
When using Tekin, go with the correct format: buggy motor for buggy and truggy for truggy. I used a truggy on a buggy and it wasn't as smooth as the buggy motor.
When using Castle, do not buy the 2650kv ever unless you are running 3S on a buggy.
Sensored matters!! Make sure you get a sensored setup unless its a bashing monster truck.
Just my take...
