Hello everyone,

I'm reworking my brushless Losi 8IGHT, and I couldn't find the answer to my exact question by searching, so I'd like your recommendations.

I have 2 motors available, the Castle 2200 kV---which is base on the Neu 1515/1Y, right?---and a Neu 1512/2.5D. From what I've read, most people consider the 1515 to be too big for a buggy and think the 1512/2.5D (2000 kV) is a better choice. Is that correct?

Also, and more importantly, what gearing would you recommend for bashing on a 5S 5000-mAh battery?

For what it's worth, I'm using the Losi conversion kit, which limits my gearing choices a bit.

Thanks for your help.

Michael
