What KV Sidewinder for a Mini LST?
I have a stock Mini LST2 and am looking to go brushless. I will be adding a exotek chassis and all other graphite aftermarket goodies avalible. So I was wondering is 6800 if a good "happy medium" or if I should go with a 4200, 5400, 8000?

A 6800 will probably be more than enough, and if you really want that extra punch, you can always go up to a 3c Lipo and get damn near unmanageable speed. If you get an 8000Kv, you will most likely have to turn your throttle exponential down so it will not see max power. I have seen these "untamed" just flip over backwards at full hit even on 4wd.

i say either 5400 or 6800
the 5400 for more acceleration/torque
and 6800 for more speed
the 6800 i hear is a geat mix of torque and speed so i would personally go with the 6800...
but if you dont wantas much speed but you want acceleration/torque definately go with the 5700..
the 5400 for more acceleration/torque
and 6800 for more speed
the 6800 i hear is a geat mix of torque and speed so i would personally go with the 6800...
