Well il say its cheaper getting the 2200kv and 4s lipos for a Truggy or a 2000kv on 4s . But if you want to run 20 min + mains you have to get a big 4s that has weight to it.

With a high mah rating if you dont want to change your lipo during a pitstop which is a time waster !

So from what i heard from some guys on here they run a 1900kv for runtime and cooler running i think you run a (5s) on them or a (2000kv on 4s_. Which i heard is better than a 2200kv for torque and runtime the (2000kv on 4s) im talking about.

But i think getting a 2000kv on 4s is cheaper since its less money on the lipos than buying higher cell lipos and less weight also maybe not though .

Are you running with nitro Truggys ?

I dont know a lot about a 1900kv motor but if you want runtime and cooler running than i would run that not the 2200kv.

4s.....i know with the 2200 i can run a 8min main charging roughly half back. im not worried about the run times since we are running 6min heats with 8-10 min mains...just about the power

I tried a 1900kv in my MBX6T and it wasn't enough motor. A 2000kv works pretty good and would probably be great on indoor tracks. I run outdoor larger tracks and am currently using the CC 2200kv. If it's too much for indoor you can cut back on power using the Castle Link.

I ran a 1550kv tekin, 4 cell, properly geared on a medium out door and did just fine. Its all what your comfortable with. If you have time try both. Your the driver, internet opinions are a dime a dozen.
