4.5T or 6.5T for 4wd buggy

I have an 8.5 in my B4 and I have a 6.5 in my B44... Both are LRP X12 motors and both have PLENTY of power...

Seeing that you already own the motors, why don't you put it in and see how you go.
I run a 4.5T in my DEX410 and love it. Sure I don't win the big events, but I wouldn't win no matter which motor I have in there.
I've tried going down to a a 5.5 and a 6.5 and they seem a little pedestrian to me.
I agree with the others that a 4.5 is a lot of motor for off road, but it just means that you need to be extra careful with your throttle finger.
Btw.. I run a 6.5T in my 2wd as well.

A 4.5 will be over kill. U will never really need that much motor, unless ur bashing. I had a 6.5 in my b44 and it was perfect. That motor set up on the reedy pack will be perfect.

Hahaha. Yeah pretty hard to kill yourself, but still there can be a point when its too fast.
#28
See, even with a 6.5 you can blow ur stuff up. Imagine what a 4.5 would do

The diff sucks to take out at first, until you find the easy way to do it. First time i did it i took about the whole front end out. After that it was a few screws and slid it through the front.
