I am guessing that you do not have enough posts to be able to post a link... or you just forgot it put it in. What system are you trying to use?

I would say you need more of a lower kv rated maybe like a 1900 or 2200.

The ESC is for planes and I am not sure if it will work for a car. It will need a separate BEC or receiver pack since it does not have one built in. You would want something more like the following. I haven't owned either one, but they are built for cars.

The motor might work, but it is a little on the small side for 1/8th. The following might be a better idea.

The battery you are looking at appears to be a good match for your application. The rpm ratings on the motors should work on a 4S LiFe battery.

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.

This site restricts new users. I think you need to have at least 15 posts or something like that before you can post links.
