Is this for racing or bashing?? If racing, I wouldn't go with either of them for a buggy. If bashing, I would go with the 2200kv. It's a little more efficient than the 2650 and will get you more run time. Both motors are blazing fast.

Lower KV rated motors are easier to control. Ran the 2200, lap times sucked. Ran a Tekin 1700 for a while and it lacked the "punch" I was looking for (on four cells...racing, remember) and have settled on the tekin 1900kv. Controllable, punchy, and plenty of speed at controllable temps. consistenty better lap times.
