Suggestions for new XT8 motor

[Sower]

I had that same heli motor in my XT8 on 6s and loved it. I used my truggy for racing only though. If you're using it for bashing then I highly doubt the efficiency of Y vs D will make any difference. Why not try something like the 3D @ 1360kv?

As there seems to be a few XT8 owners here and I got no responce to my own thread I'm going to ask what you guys are using for spur gears, are there any plastic spurs available or are you all running stock steel spurs and hardened pinions? Plastic or steel how many teeth does the spur you run have? I have to work out my gearing.
