1200kv motor?
Looking for a 1200kv motor for my ebuggy, anyone know of a good company who makes them? I know Tekin has the 1400kv and 1350kv (truggy) but a 1200kv would be the perfect set up for 6s for me.
So let's say there are no good 1200kv motors out there and I'm stuck with Tekin (which I don't mind because they are good motors) I want the lower of the two but it's a truggy motor so it's a little longer meaning it has a longer rotor which in turn equals out to a little bit more torque than the 1400kv? I guess I can live with more torque, who can't?
Thanks in advance.

You may also be lucky and get hold of a Hacker c50XL with 1250kv, I have one for 6s and it is perfect

Found out that Tacon makes motors in 1200kv, anyone have any feedback with that?
And are they sensored? The one site I found them on, it doesn't specify it they are or aren't.

There is also a nice one on eBay right now, a new Hacker B50 12XL Motor (1315kv) $170

I run both sensored and non-sensored 1/8 buggies, and have never felt any difference. But I am not a pro - LOL

I've noticed most cogging during a stand still or a slow roll, I plan on buying this for racing, so the cogging may not be as prevalent. I understand the pros use sensored motors, but who's to say it would be a world difference in performance? So let's say the unsensored isn't as responsive, so a pro with a sensored motor runs the lap at 30.82 and he runs 30.96 with unsensored....the .14 to a nonpro like myself can live with that, I think lol
I found a turnigy 1200kv for 20 bucks, I will try this out and see how it goes (sensorless)

Ok, good luck
The sensored motors are only sensored at low RPMs, when they pick up a little speed, they also run sensorless
