Also I'm thinking about getting a hobby wing combo for my buggy would the 1800 combo or the 2000kv combo be better suited?? I really won't be racing either of these since there are not any tracks any where close to me just love the hobby and love playing around!! Sorry for asking again just not very experienced with electric and want to make sure I'm going in the right direction! Thanks in advance for any help!
Please do yourself a favor and use a different motor than the 2650KV, Castle designed that motor for 3-4s in a buggy only. The weight of the Truggy will kill that motor very quickly because it is a short can motor that does not produce enough torque to push the Truggy reliably. If you want a great motor for the money and do not care about it being sensored then the Castle creations 2200kv motor is a torque beast and will push the Truggy without any heat issues with the correct gearing.
