Need brushless buggy advice

[Overdriven]

Congrats on the purchase. The 1518 is a great motor, one of these days I'll try out mine on 6s. I think you'll find it's pretty flexible and can be geared for pretty high speeds without heating up. Especially if you cut out the vents on the body (and open up the rear to let air escape) and maybe a cc blower. All depends on how high you gear it and how/where you drive. Should be a blast either way, I love high powered 1/8th scale buggies they're about the most durable thing out there and are just so much fun with crazy power on board. Let us know how it performs when you get it all setup
