Default What kv

What KV do you guys recommend for a Losi Truggy?
2250, 2000, 1700, 1550, or 1350.
I generally run at a tight and bumpy track.

Either 2000-2250kv on 4s if its weight is roughly ~ 10lbs/4 kg , next step lower if it's got big fat tires or heavier overall.

What are the track rules? ROAR (4s LiPo only) or other?

Im not really going to race with my truggy, just driving for fun.
I mainly run buggies nitro and electric, but i want to convert my truggy to electric too
I have a tekin Esc and motor for my buggy and love it
So i am looking for a tekin for my truggy, i think a 2000kv would be the best from what advice i have gotten.
