Default 1/8 MT conversion

I need some help converting my XXL to electric.

I've got my eye on some 4s 30C 5000mah packs for it. What kind of kv should I be getting, 2200? I just need it to run nice and cool, topspeed and stump pulling low end is not what I'm looking for.

Any ideas?

Losi actually came out with a Losi MT electric conversion kit. They recommend a Losi 1/8 BL system (1300Kv or higher). The 4S packs are also recommended by Losi. Check their site.

2200 is a good kv for MT/Truggys

MMM combo 2200kv and some 4s should get it moving nicely

So I've heard, but will a 1700kv on 5s be more efficient?

yes it will be, but then a 1500kv on 6s is even better if you want to go there
