I don't think it will fit without relocating the esc. I think the 1518 is 83mm long, I'll dig one out and lay a tape on it.
The motor is 83.5. the Tekin esc is 40mm wide for a grand total of 123.5. On my kit looks like I have 126mm from motor mount to the servo. So it will fit.

Guys I am still debating on a 4s vs 6s setup. Could I get some pros and cons of both the set up below:

4s tekin 2250 vs 6s tekin 1550

People say 6s runs cooler than 4s. I did the math and with the two setup above, the 6s setup has a higher total RPM of the motor ... it was around 34k rpm and the 4s was somewhere in 33k rpm ... Would it still run cooler even if its doing higher rpm? Are there other factors involved that I am not aware off? Im fairly new at this so please do enlighten me!

Also, any pros cons that might swap me towards either setups?!

your Kv selection seems a bit high personally.

6S will run more efficiently so you should see an increase in runtime and less heat.

I wouldn't use either of those motors if you're serious about racing. I was joking earlier with one of the Tekno drivers and he said the Tekin 2250 has waaaay too much power, high kv motors like that would take serious talent to control. On 4s I would be looking at the Tekin 2000kv if you want to run a truggy motor, it would have gobs of hp and should run cool enough geared properly. The 1550 on 6s I think it would be too much again, that motor would run cooler imo with a 5s battery plus it would be much easier to gear properly. If you really want to run 6s I would go with the Tekin 1350kv truggy motor, now that setup would give cool running and longer run times. than 4s.

At 2:44 I stop and wait for the first time and at 4:52 is when I blow the castle 2200 away with ease

Do you beat the guy driving the 2200 with ease because you had so much more power or was it a matter of you having much better driving skills plus a superior kit? My guess is both, the ET is an awesome kit plus if Tekno sponsors you, hmm must know how to drive fast, real fast!

Are the final drive ratios close to the same? Where both batteries at around the same level of power at that time. As for the waiting, the Mugen seemed to make a lot of mistakes.

I was the mugen and I was in 2nd place most of that race. The truggy that was making the mistakes was a RC8.2 with the castle system in it. I run a tekin 2000kv truggy motor.

Yeah I wasn't saying he was a similar skill level driver the whole race was more of a screw around race since we only started with 4 and were down to 2 less than half way through I was merely showing how much faster mine was down the straight with my current limiter at 35 I am by no means trying to sell this motor as the way to go for this truggy merely just a comparison of speed down a straight line but being overpowered costs more racers victories than it ever wins them victories

If I am under the wrong impression about the t8 please do let me know, because I am inclined toward buying the 2000kv t8 but if the castle runs cooler than the t8 then Im not sure how I feel about t8 motors anymore.

Scorpion on the previous page said he runs a 2250 kv t8 ... How is that holding up scorpion? Does it run cool or hot or just fine? A little info would be most appreciated!
Mamdot I'm sorry I missed your question mine runs about 130 in a 10 minute main with a 15 it was running about 145 in 10 minutes I guess I really can't say that I've pushed it really hard cause I haven't ran it in a big race yet but my track requires a lot of braking and throttle for a truggy which generally creates a little more heat so I would say it wouldn't have a problem in any reasonable conditions
