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.
I'd go with the 1900kv, it'll run cooler and you'll have more bottom end if you need to clear jumps etc..............
The only thing I don't like about the rc8 is the motor mount, I had nothing but issues keeping my motor lined up with the spur at the track, it kept slipping away...... Its a good thing another rctech member was there and had an extra elite motor mount that he sold me for an awesome price...... From there on I had no problems with my rc8 and I can't wait to get back to the track, and this time I'll bring my laptop to try some diff. settings on my rx8.......
