the T8 2050kv motor is for the buggy, so it may run a little hotter in your truggy, than it would in a buggy - apparently its a shorter motor for the buggy, and the truggy gets a slightly longer can - not sure on dimensions tho - would have been able to do a comparison but i just sold my 2650kv T8, as i have the 2000kv truggy combo on the way right now...
