It used to be no less than 120 oz.-in., then no less than 150 oz.-in., now with improved motors and electronics everyone says no less than 200. To me anything over 200 oz.-in. is for Truggies, Crawlers, and Monster trucks. As long as it has metal gearing and sufficient speed for good response I think 150 is plenty in 1/8 buggy.

That being said, the Savox, 1258TG good for buggy... think I'd go 1256TG for Truggy.
