mmp with 1800kv

I am thinking about picking up an cc 1800kv buggy motor and I plan on running it on 4s. I know some of you guys are running this setup but is seems that the total motor speed of 26,640rpm is a bit low, anything to be concerned about? I thought we wanted to shoot for the 30,000 to 35,000rpm range. if i gear my Ve8 to 22/50 i will have the speed i need but will i lose efficiency? Will the lower kv rated motor be easier on the mmp? any other draw backs to this set up?

That should work fine with the 1800Kv motor. The 1800Kv motor is a higher torque, lower RPM motor than the 2650 -- so it's usually happy running at lower RPMs with a lower gear ratio.

Thanx!

I had an MMP and Neu 1512/1.5Y (1850kv) in my Jammin buggy and it ran great.
