Default Which motor for zx-5 Fs2

I am about to purchase a esc and motor combo for my fs2, but I'm not sure on which turn motor to go with. I was thinking maybe 8.5 or 9.5, I will be running mainly on an indoor clay track, long Island Raceway to be exact, if anyone has any recomendations I would love to hear them thanks. I'm gonna be using a lrp sxx tc spec, and i am currently running a lrp sxx in my rb5 with a lrp 10.5 motor and they both work great.

I ran my FS with an 8.5 and it was really smooth, a 9.5 is also a good choice if it were 2wd, but in 4wd I would pick the 8.5..

A 7.5 is a good starting point for a 4wd buggy. Just enough power but not over kill.

I usually run a 5.5 or a 6.5 turned down but I have used a 7.5 and it was very easy to drive.
