PS for that tekin fanboy, relax.. lol tekin are nice but you're not even on topic.. LOL
i run the Tekin 1550 in my truggE and it is pure sweetness.
I lent my truck to a guy on 2 separate race days when his nitro failed and he is now our series points leader.
Castle is fine too but not as smooth and IMHO, I recommend going with a lower KV and 5s or 6s lipo with truck. You can get a 2200 but I would go 4s on that. You will lack on the torque that a lower KV will have but you can still run it.
