I think that would probably be a safe starting point. Just be sure to check temps after a few minutes into the first run, and keep an eye on them after each full run. We try to keep the motor between 140-160 for most 2s onroad applications which I assume would be the ideal range for 2WD buggy as well. It is okay to go over 160 on occasion but I would try to avoid that if possible. It just helps preserve the rotor strength and increases the life of the motor.
