I have a MMP with the 4 pole I believe it was 2900 or 2000 something KV, this motor seemed really slow, like I needed to run more than 2S battery maybe 3 or 4S, I tried changing pinion, but not much more top speed. Question is: THe MMP 4 pole is it enough motor and should it be running pretty fast on a 2S? (maybe the motor is bad) Next question, anybody else found that the novak is a good motor just a little slow, or do you think I might have 2 motors that are bad on the truck. Finaly question: Given what I am running, what should I be running to give me a little more top end without losing the punch that I enjoy so much. Thanks for your help.

It is most likely the 2400kv motor that comes as a combo with the MMP esc.......And yes that motor will only come alive on 3S+, go with the castle 3800KV 1410 4 pole motor and you'll have all the power you'll need, unless you want to spend the money and run the tekin pro4 motors...
