2800 would run very hot in a 1/8th buggy on a 4S LiFe. Since you are looking at a LiFe battery instead of a Lipo, you can get away with a slightly faster motor. Just doing the math, a 2250 on a 4S LiFe would be like a 2000 on a 4S lipo. The motors you are looking at are faster than that, but you might be able to make them work.
