Is there a reason to choose the 2200 over the 2650 motor? I would have thought the 2650 is more suited for a 1/8th buggy while the 2200 with its monstrous torque would be better suited to bigger trucks. Doesn't the 2650 already have more than enough torque?

MMM combo is very reliable. No argument there.

Personally, I think the conversion kit you use is something that you should spend time researching. Personally, I am a HUGE fan of the Tekno Rc conversion. You can find it at Impaktrc.com. The reason why i'm such a fan is based off several things. 1) I like having a brake servo. The brake bias is something people will tell you that you don't need, but I disagree. Especially on shorter tracks, you can dial out some front brake and give the car a front one-way kind of feel. 2) It comes with a different chassis. These guys spent a lot of time figuring out how to put what where and it shows. 3)The motor mount is basically a giant heat sink with tapped holes for a fan. I love it.
Now, notice my extensive use of the word "I". Its just what I like. Watch different cars, do research and ask questions. Why 1/8 electric is so awesome is because there are so many different options. Whats best for me might not be best for you and thats cool. Good luck!

So the mamba 2200 will not fit on a Losi conversion unless new holes are drilled I'm the motor mount? I have my conversion, just don't have the motor yet so I cannot see for myself. If this is the case it sucks.

The Castle motors will work just fine, for some reason Losi put 4mm holes in the mount. You can use it as is or tap the motor for 4mm screws. your choice.

What size are the holes on the Castle motor?

Castle motors have 3mm holes I just used 3x12 mm countersunk screws and all is fine. I have done this on 3 cars that I have helped people with. If you are worried about the 3mm not holding just get a tap and run the 3mm until it strips then tap it to 4.

Hey folks,
Just picked this new plastic spur gear from Losi up and I am not happy.
Do u still need to grind down the motor mount because the plastic gear is wider.. Or did I install it wrong..
thx

Oh well no big deal.
