I've found two really good threads on this and I hate to post again but maybe I'm overthinking things!
It seems like two very solid options are:
Castle Mamba Monster X with the 1515 2200KV motor 16t pinion
or
Hobbywing XR8 with the 4268D 1600kv motor 15t pinion
Price for both those kits is the same, so is there anything other than brand loyalty to push me one way or the other? I'd think I'd get longer run times on 6s, so I'm more inclined to go that way but it seems like most on the forums are 4s?
My use case is solely back yard bashing. My needs are extreme as I mostly run a Losi 5ive 12S brushless system. (MGM/Lehner) but I'm hoping this kit can bring me back to the fun times I had with my first RC (HPI Bullet Flux ST)
