Hi,

I'm doing an E-Conversion on my 1/8 Truggy and am torn between the Tekin T8 2200KV combo and the Castle 2200KV with the HobbyWing 150A-SD ESC.

I will be racing but also bashing very now and them.

I'm looking for high torque and High-Speed.

What do you recommend? Don't consider the Cost.

Looking for what is the most aggressive on 4S.

Both the Tekin and Castle will have TONS of speed and torque if geared correctly. The key is to get your gearing right and watch the motor, esc and battery temps. Both motors you are looking at have proven to be very reliable and make tons of power. The only major difference is the Tekin is sensored whereas the Castle is not.

And takin comes with current limited as well to increases run time

You know there is a 2250kv tekin truggy motor too?

The T8 is way better than the castle. I had 3 castle and 6 T8. The last one is smoother, runs cooler, and I get better runtimes. IMO the best 1/8 motor in its price range.

hobbywing esc + tekin motor is a perfect combo, very reliable too

I would go with the Tekin as well, but if you don't have batteries yet, I would say do a little research on the many benefits of running a lower kv on 6s as an alternative to the 4s setup you are looking at now.
I run 4s in my truck & in hindsight, I wish I went with the 6s to make it easier to run a 15 minute main & still have cooler temps

Why not look into other motors as well. HW has a line of very good sensored motors you could run with that ESC.

If you're stuck on those two motors I say go with the Tekin because it's sensored. I had the Castle 2200kv in my e-buggy and it's a GREAT basher motor, but I got tired of the cogging especially in a track environment.

it depends if he has to follow roar rules or not. If he doesn't then i'd go with a 1350kv setup in 6S. I'm running low kv motors since two years now and 5S or 6S lipos and the advantage is significant compared to 4S

How does the Tekin 2,250 kv Truggy Motor work with a 4S Battery?
Too much power? Thinking of converting my MBX6T to electric for bashing.

What is the difference between the Tekin 2000KV and 2250KV on the Track?

I'm looking for high torque (which is guaranteed on the Castle) and want to find the closest High Torque comparison along with Speed.

It has to be a Tekin or Castle - I'm getting a deal on a new one. Either Tekin 2000KV or Tekin 2250KV - both RX8 Combos.

However I have the option to drop the RX8 ESC and Run the HW 150A-SD.

The Motor 2000KV or 2250KV Tekin is the First Question and then the ESC Combo to go with it.

I think I'm down to being decided on The Tekin.

Just want to know which is More Aggressive on 4S - The 2250KV OR THE 2000KV?

2250kv is good for bashing, not too much power. I even raced a castle 2200kv when I began. As soon as you gear it right it shouldn't get too hot A 2000kv is good too but for bashing it's fun to have a bit more speed.

Difference on the track between the 2000 and 2250kv with the same pinion is less top speed for the 2000kv but more torque, less heat, longer runtimes. For this application I'd definitely get the 2000.

Thanks Pulse! You def know your stuff.

Just to confirm. Not considering run times, which is the overall most aggressive of the two motors, the 2250Kv OR The 2000KV?

I'll be running Both Track and Bashing when I can't make out to the track.

Also, if you suggest the 2250KV which everyone says is the aggressive of the two what pinion should I run to keep it good for the track?

Thanks Buddy!

The 2250 is a great 4S Truggy motor, Lutz runs one and his Truggy is wicked fast. Awesome to watch him wheel that thing. I went down to a 2000, it's not much less power, just a little smoother IMO and the speeds are the same as the 2250 with one tooth more on the pinion.

[QUOTE=TASMANIAC;11722234]As Ty just mentioned the 2000kv will feel smoother, so less agressive than the 2250.

Both are good choices for your application IMO, if you choose the 2250 you will always be able to tame it down with your ESC settings. A 2000kv can feel more punchy with a small amount of timing also so finally it all depends on your driving preference: smoother (2000kv) or more agressive (2250kv) motor response Both can be equally fast depending on the gearing.

Thanks TY!

Really stoked on getting the 2250KV for My D8T. How many teeth on the pinion gear would you suggest? I was thinking either 14T or 15T but open to what would make it as fast and aggressive as Lutz's.

Sure His Skills help as well but still would like to know.
