Brushless 2200 or 2650

[jsr]

I read somewhere that the 2650kV was a delta-wound motor.

Regardless, having seen how a much heavier Savage Flux on 4s will lift it's wheels and be uncontrollable on the 2200kV motor, I think the 2650kV would be a better choice. Most people want enough power to do standstill flips and wheelie, but I prefer to actually drive the car/truck around and handle well.

Unless things have changed, all CC Nue motors are 1Y wind. They just increase/decrease the length to get the various kv values. Makes sense too as the larger setups will require larger motors and probably higher voltage.

Anyway, for a buggy, 2650 on 4s is great. Might be a little on the fast side unless you gear down. If you want cooler running, the 2200 on 4s will be fine on 4s geared for around 35ish mph, and the larger can will stay cooler (more surface area). And then if you want to do some speed runs, the 2200 will be perfect for 5s or 6s without changing gearing too much.
