Amps with a MMM 2200kv combo?

[VintageMA]

I think you will see higher amps than that - you are looking at spinning the motor >45k rpm with a 6S setup and a 2200kv motor - you're pinion will have to be very small ~11T.

I would say to go for a 1650kv Neu motor and you have a much happier setup on 6S. You could go for the Neu 3900 6S packs and the weight won't be too bad.

Personally I am going to be getting a 1512/3.5d (1500kv) motor with a 6S TP2600 pack geared at 15/46 to shoot for just about 40mph. I'll be able to gear up to 17/46 for ~45mph. I've been aiming to try a few setup where I am balancing the motor/servo side of the buggy with the lipos. The runtime is obviously less but the car tracks perfectly straight during hard accelerations and braking rather than pulling to one side - obviously this depends on where you'll run it, but I am mostly in parking lots and the veering to the side is a real pain on asphalt, i don't think it would be as bad on grass (more overall grip) or dirt (less grip more slide).

hmm... im also wanting the same answers, but i want to run a123 cells. 6s or 4s2p seems like my only 2 options for weight issues. help! will i get 35-40mph (thats quick enough for me!) out of a buggy?

I would guess that amp draw would be around 85 amps. That is not an average, or max, but more of a battery guideline. I would say that a fp 3700 25c 6s pack would work fine and still be reasonably light. Motor kv is a bit much, will this be a 1515 or 1512? For a 1512 2200kv on 6s lipo in a buggy you may be able to step down to a smaller 6s pack.

I run a medusa 36/60/1500 in a hyper8 on 6s lipo. I use a pair of fp 2170 3s lipos in series for 6s. They work fine, and I use 14/46 gearing on that buggy. Plenty of speeds and power, and decent runtimes too.
