It's a toss up to me. The 7XL was fast as heck, but the 9xl runs a little cooler & is a little slower, but it's still very fast if geared right. . If it's a short tight track like you say i would probaly lean towards the 7xl sinice you all ready have it. How long is the straight at your track ?. what brand of lipo's & size are you using ?.

you can use brian's speed calculator to get a idea of different gearing & motor choices.

Thanks for the reply hippie. I'm not sure how long the strait is, but it's not very long. I have 2 brushless LST2's one has an 8XL/Quark 125 ( more of a basher ) and the other has a 9XL/MM and its set up for racing. I'm new tothe racing thing (actually only practiced on the track so far, but it's alot of fun. ) anyway I figured if somebody that has already experienced these motors they could save me alot of time and trouble figuring it out so I really appreciate your help. Oh yea I'm running MaxAmps 6000mah 4s batts. ( 2ea 2s in series ).

No problem. Either of those motors will work very well in your buggy on 4s. When you get your buggy converted please post some pics.
