Candyman, I have run two low kv motors on lower voltages. I have a 1200XL basic lehner, in an RC10GT conversion, that gets run regularly on 5s lipo's (rough equivalent, maybe slightly lower volt as you are planning) geared to about 40, it runs cool all day and i can get away with smaller cells. I also have played with a 2250/10t (1184kv) lehner on 4-6 s lipo's, it's in a twinforce with a center diff, buggy gearing and a 19/51 pinion to spur. till i broke a C-hub, it never had trouble pulling the truck on MT size knobbie tires to 50+, with wheelie power to spare almost everywhere on the trigger i wanted. What i'm saying is do not discount the 2y Just because its a low kv motor, If its like my 2.5d (1600kv) it has almost as much torque as the 2250 i have and should be able to pull the required gearing
