Need help with buggy conversion

The torque is pretty much consistent across the can size. That's because the max torque is determined by the amount of magnet engaging with the coils. IF you can feed the max current that motor wants, then you'll have the same torque. It's not the same as brushed motors at all.

I think i've said this before, but I'm running a 10L in my 1/8 buggy. I'm about to shoot some video of it today, I'll be running it on 6 cells, 7 cells, 3S LiPo and 12 cells, all so anyone watching can see the difference. With the 11/46 gearing now, I can tell it could use a bit taller gearing. I've got a 13T pinion on the way, which should be about perfect. According to my calcs, a 13/46 + 4S should have plenty of torque and hit 40 mph easy.
