common think mentioned about the motor is that it runs hotter than the hobbywing, hence, in a sealed setup like you get for the buggy body that may be a better match. rotor dimensions on the hobbywing are a bigger to, I think there is a picture showing it similar to the T8I size but you would need to hunt that down.

That said, give it a go if you prefer and see what you think. Jhauz I beleive ran that motor at one point and I think felt he needed a fan to keep temps where he wanted, but I believe it was the 1900kv-ish version.
