ORIGINAL: amen

I read on the tower website, that the 2650 should be used for buggy and the 2200 for truggy. I havent bought it yet, just figured i ask before hand. Also wanted to know what type of lipo i should be using. I have heard good things about the zippy's, are turnigy the same quality; cause they are a bit cheaper. Thanks for the replies guys!!
1 more thing on the site the specs for the 2650 are 16.8v max for the motor, and 25v for the esc. Here comes the stupid question, If i use 6s will I fry the motor, or will the esc limit the current to the motor

From the Castle site it says the 2650 is intended for uses with 4s
"Neu-Castle 2650 KV – Intended for 4S (16.8 Volt) operation. Ideal for 1/8th buggy conversions. The 2650 is 68mm long."

and the 2200 is intended for use with 6s
"Neu-Castle 2200 KV – Intended for up to 6S (25.2 Volt) operation. Incredible in monster trucks with up to 6S lipo packs (4s lipo is the sweet spot), and works great in 1/8 Truggies as well. The 2200 is 75mm long making it capable of handling more power than the 2650. This one is the bad boy!"
