The more I research this, the more I realize that track surface plays a big part in mah mileage. Are you guys running on grippy surfaces? My local track is natural dirt, loose and super bumpy. Really dusty if not watered every other heat or so as well. I think this may be eating up some of my mah.

Since I stole the electronics for this buggy from my SC8e, I decided I better order up another setup. I'm going to purchase a Tekin setup for the buggy and put the CC stuff back in my SC8. I'm torn between the 2050 and 1900 though. Will I gain better efficiency if I go with a lower KV motor geared to run the same speeds as the 2200 setup I have now? Which of those two would be the better choice? Tough to choose when spending this much cash on some electronics.
