Need some opinions on a motor

[Overdriven]

You might be able to get away with the MMP in a buggy with a bec and the body opened up. But the esc will still be working pretty hard and won't leave much room for error in gearing. Keep the Hacker but go with a real 1/8 esc (MMM, RX8, or even hobbywing 150) so you're not so close to the limit and then you won't need a bec either. I ran my buggy with the MMM/2200 combo on 4s and it was good power for racing. On 5s it was a bit nutty, just how I like it, but a bit much for racing. Then I went 1518 1800kv on 5s, it got nuttier and I got happier, but I really only bashed with it.

For the Truggy it would be the same story, 4s MMM/2200 combo would be fun, but more just makes it better. I loved my 8T with 1520 1600kv on 5s. Overpowered when you want it but also controllable, more so than the buggy due to the bigger tires. I've never messed with punch or Torque control on any of my rigs either. Btw, my 1518 and 1520 are both up for grabs, both low runtime great condition.
