Wow. So many 1/8 electrics on one track!

Shark, how does the 2200 compare to the 2650 you had before power,temp wise and what tekin motor is that in the picture?

Ok I know there are some sharp people on this forum, that would notice I had a T8 motor in the picture. I originally had a MMM 2650kv motor and was pleased with the power and lighter weight, but I could not consistantly get the temps where I wanted them with the gearing available to me (45T spur). So I tried a MMM 2200kv motor out of my truggy and it was great, performance wise and temps were better. But when the Tekin T8 motors came out I really liked what people were saying about the power, it could be use sensored or sensorless, and I like that it had solder on post, 4mm mounting holes and it was lighter, so I sold the MMM 2650kv motor and got a Tekin 2050kv buggy motor (the one in the picture). Unfortunetly, on the first pack the magnet separated from the shaft and I had to reinstall my MMM 2200kv truggy motor. Don't get me wrong while it was running the Tekin motor was great, matter of fact I am running a 2100 T8 in my truggy and have about 8 packs thru it with no issues. I contacted Tekin and they admitted there was an issue with some of the earlier rotors and a new improved rotor was now being produced and they would send me one right away no questions asked. This is a great example of a company showing they stand behind their product. So for now I am running the MMM 2200kv motor with a 47T spur that gives me many more gearing options, the temps are consistant and the MMM works great with the T8.

So shark i have a mmm 2200kv combo should i keep that for a buggy that i am going to get or get a 2650kv motor.Thanks.

Blaz, as Nitrostarter mentions a lot has to do with your setup and what you plan on using your buggy for. Also, if you already have the 2200kv motor why don't you try it in your buggy and see how it performs for you, then decide.
