Possible brushless setup (your thoughts)

i say, go for a hw 80a esc, medusa 60mm 3100kv motor with a 4s lipo. that'll make the motor spin at about 45k rpm and will leave any nitro in the dust.

just had a major brain fart! the triton 2 has a 5s limit... so that leaves me to just pick out a 4s setup.

Isn't 45k rpm too much on a BL motor?

I also think 5S would be nice for you... Mike has some nice 5S 4500 packs that should give you good run times at 538g so it's pretty decent weight wise (well under 600g) and run times should be well over 15min more like 20ish. A 1900kv motor would give you right about 35k rpm, which is from what I understand the rpm you are looking for in a buggy running BL.

Another setup that is REALLY tempting me would be running 6S with mike's 2600 packs, they only weight 380g and will last a good 10 min racing, with a 1500kv motor this could be a really killer and cool running setup.

Man, sooo many options :)
