It will be my losi xxx sct and mainly doing real light running up and down the riad but mainly oval racing

dtr

Are those motors from the 4pole 1406 series or the 2pole cms36 series?
Anyway the 3800kv is a strongest of all castle 540 size motors, the 4600 4pole would be more easily tamed in 2wd. The 2poles need to be geared lower or they heat up more.

u don't want to much power in a 2wd because control becomes an issue then:

Well acceleration is needed on a track that has short burst, but if there are long straits and just mild turns and so forth then u can get higher gearing, u wanna watch your temps tho as u gear higher, don't wanna toast nuttin lol

I would keep what you have, and it will power a 4x4 if you ever want
