I'm picking one of these up next week new from my LHS for 300 out the door. All I have is Traxxas stuff, but I want to build my own. I have a Tekin RX8 with 2250kv in a E-Maxx that I will swap over. From what I have read that will be too high a kv for the race track, is there a way with the Tekin hotwire to tone that motor or am I better off getting the 1900kv ? Please advise on some other things below, I will playing around with it in the dirt and want to try my hand at racing also

Motor
Radio
Steering Servo
How many cell lipo and C rating
Gearing

What would be safe for some high speed runs and what would be best for track duty ?

Thanks
