If both those give you a green for 6s, remember higher voltage is always better.. less amp draw. This equals happier ESC's and Happier LIPO's over time. Motor temp, and abuse is consistent on any voltage if your are setup properly.

Highly recommend the HW 150a esc, best choice of them all iMO
Highly recommend the Tekin truggy motors


BTW I raced the last three years and have had a ton of success on the tekin 1550kv 6s, you can easily race w/ this config if you are any good at all. Note this was with an 8ight-te so it was easier to gear properly. The ET48 is a bit more limited in gearing options, so the 1350kv does make more sense in this rig, but you can EASILY race w/ the 1550kv motor.

The reason I thought a 1550kv motor on 6s might be too much is I tried racing a Castle 1520 1y 1600kv motor using a 5s pack. It had way too much power, I couldn't even imagine running it with a 6s pack. I do realize that particular Castle motor is real beast, it's huge in comparison. The 1550 on 6s must be a real rocket!
