I actually like it better than 1/8th



That's mainly preference. But, we can get you headed in the right direction.

Most common are Castle Mamba Monster 1800-2200. Or Tekin RX8 T8 combo. Anywhere from 1700kv to 2050 for the track. 4S being the most popular battery size. Pinion gears range from 18T to 21T for these.[/QUOTE



From what I have been reading and trying to pry from the heads of more experienced racers it seems like everyone keeps telling me to use a higher KV motor due go being able to run higher voltge batteries while keeping the motor cool and around 30k rpm.
But it seems like your saying the lower KV motors are more popular ? And people are running 4s and keeping the motor cool at the same time?
What's the bennifet or difference between a 1700KV motor (example) vs a 2650kv motor ?
Everyone says the lower KV gives you more torque an the higher KV gives you more speed.
I would really like a straight answer if anyone can lay in down for me.
