thanks in advance for your help
Your motor will depend on what battery you're running. For 4 cell (5000 mah minimum with a high C rating), go with something in the 1900-2300kv range. If you're planning on running it with mechanical brakes a buggy size motor will be fine, especially for racing. If not, a truggy length might be better as it will have an easier time with the brakes and run cooler. However, Danny is testing a buggy size motor with motor brakes and it's working fine, so it is possible. For servo(s), go with the most torque you can get. I run a Hitec 7955, I think Danny is using a ProTek 150T. If you run mechanical brakes, go with high speed unit speed that has at least 140 oz of torque. A good cheaper option is the Hitec 965 or the ProTek 100ss. I think Danny is running the 130s or 130ss in his nitros.
