what are the differences of the two motors?

what do you recommend?
The one motor has a longer can. For a truggy, I'd go with the 74mm motor. I run a 200oz.-in servo on my 1/8 buggy, and that's perfect for my bashing purposes. I'm not sure on the torque and speed of those servos you listed, but for bigger truggy tires, you are gonna want no less than 250 oz-in of torque and somewhere around 0.10 sec./60 deg. That's where I would start looking anyway. Not everyone has the same needs.Tons of servos out there. Just be aware of specs on the HV (high voltage) servos. If you are going the HV route, check with ESC's BEC output and make sure your receiver is up for the task.
