i think they end up only around 4kg RTR.The question is how fast do you want to go?i think 50mph is fast for an off-road truck but some people need more.
Also is lightweight and handling more important or big power and straightline speed.
For a racier 40mph setup i'd take a 1940,mount it above the spur in the centre and move the batteries closer to the centre line to lower the yaw moment.i think that would be the best handling.
For heavier motors,i'd mount it low beside the spur,due to the weight of the motor.
A 1950 would do mid 50s i would think,beyond that the 2240.

I'd be a little cautious about the alloy bevel shafts in the Jammin,i guess any BL motor will test these though.
Edit;nl12,since you have access to a machine shop it would be easy to run off a set of steel bevel gear shafts on a lathe if the alloy ones become a problem.
