My $.02 - a 9400kv motor is a lot for an off-road car. Maybe not so much for on-road. My 18T has the 6800 mini-Mamba and it is plenty fast and drivable on a track. My 5 year old drives it with the throttle tuned all the way down via the transmitter.

Yeah thats definately a little overkill for offroad and probably even for onroad racing. 6800 is a great plenty in a car that size. Anything more than that and you'll just break lots of crap.
