I dont understand the motor choices. Can someone please explain what the balance is when deciding what to run?
I was thinking about buying a Tekin ESC with a 13.5t Brushless for the Cougar (to start with)...
Is it right that the lower the turn the more torque you get and hence the less top speed? If thats so then surely the gearing needs to compliment the motor choice so as not to under or over balance the mix?
I think that makes sense?! Does it?

With the new ESC's and timing advance in the software you don't need much more than a 10.5 and 17.5 in your motor arsenal especially with 2wd buggies. Boosting a 10.5 makes it insanely fast and too much for most 2wd buggies to handle imo.

?Basics of choosing a motor and ESC/MSC and Brushed vs. Brushless Systems?
There are always a ton of threads about motors and ESCs and they are all usually variants on the same questions. In this article I will go through and explain the basics of choosing a motor and ESC/MSC, and talk about brushed vs. brushless systems.
When choosing a motor it is important to choose one that meets your abilities and budget. The first thing to consider when buying a motor is how fast you realistically want the car to go. I know you all want your cars going 50mph, but there are only a few of us who have enough driving experience to go that fast without hitting straight into a wall. The basics on turns and winds are as follows:
Lower Turn = Higher Top End/Less Torque
Higher Turn = Lower Top End/More Torque

Sorry Cpt.America, but RC-ZOMBIE is correct. There has to be a trade-off, you can't have a (relatively) both high torque and high speed. If you want more of one you give up some of the other.

last two lines quoted are WRONG!!!! just saying...
CPT.AMERICA "is correct".
As far as I know, a lower wind motor is more power everywhere. yup. the math proves it.
but:
Because you typically use a smaller pinion with a lower wind motor, it's totally true that this motor produces less torque to put down the same wheel torque as your weak motor with the bigger pinion.

LOWER TURNS=LESS TORQUE
HIGHER TURNS=MORE TORQUE
