Can't help with the motor selection without knowing how many cells you are running.
Guess 4 cells..... cash is burning the pocket!! Dont want to be motored down the straight that,s 100' long max... Mains are 10 some times 20 min.... So go to Stormer and payfor it on backorder.. is that what you do? I'm just not sure, cauz if another faster way is available my cash will be tied-up there....

back-order it at a-main.. you only have to pay for it once it's available for you... that way if you can get it faster elsewhere you can cancel you order at a-main.

I have the 2250kv combo in my 8ight buggy with 5S it's a bit of an overkill, but so easily tameable... I love it!!

I'm not an expert and i'm sure you'll get some expert advise, but from the research i've done a 4S on a small to mid size track a 1900 or 2050 would be best.

I run a Losi 2.0 B and was thinking of eather the 1900 or 2050... what is the best aplication? The tracks here in Florida are on the small side compared to the others I see in the Mags ..... MillsPond, Coral Springs, etc.
Not to be an ass but this question gets asked every freekin day. Do people not do any research?

Rant over.

If you have smaller tracks get the 1900 you wont be out motored down the str8. As for a system you just have to get in line!

I don't think it would be slower on 4S, I have my EPA at 80% and I changed the power curve to a milder one so It won't wheelie. but on the track I go to I can run it for almost 25 minutes. Straight is 100m long.
But I haven't raced it yet so, actual run time in race conditions could be lower.
I'm running a 15/46 gear ratio, I might drop a tooth...
No problems with temps.

If it's not getting hot and you can hang onto it, you can stay with that gearing. BUT it may be an advantage to drop a tooth, I run 15/45 in my 8 2.0 on 4S with the 2050 and it's perfect.

We do not have public shirts currently but should in the near future. We are sending out the new driver shirts with a new look now. Also out of hats and close on banners. Everything is getting a new look and we will offer more items including hoddies and over shirts. We have some slammin graphics guys that have time to have some fun now that the packaging, website and ads are rolling. Give us a little bit and we will look as good as we perform
