as for motor something around 4000kv would prolly work best on 2S. If 3S I'd go to 3200-3500 pick the brand you like best
Sticking with 2s. Any need to drop lower than 4000 kV with my 14T pinion, given that I'm frying my lowly 19T brushed motor a bit over 190 F with these tires?

I just don't wanna buy a 4000 KV motor and then realize I shoulda gone 3600, when I fry the 4000.
good point those look like HPI geolanders?

my 4000kv gets pretty hot with 1/8th buggy tires those are a bit bigger.prolly 3500kvish
Yep, Geolandars! Not sure how they stack up to 1/8 buggy tires (these are 2'' wide, 4'' OD). But 3500 or so sounds reasonable, I'll give that a shot.



echthelion - the tray is mounted on it's side, I just drilled 2 holes in the tray through existing chassis holes - I ended up using a nylock nut under the chassis to hold it on, so it's not flush - we'll see how that holds up over time.
well they are probably about 2X heavier than buggy rims, and about an inch more diameter wise.
holding my one I got sitting here with a foam in it (not on a rim) its a quite a bit heavier than my 1/8th buggy wheel that is mounted with foams.
