Originally ordered a XR8-Plus with a 2250kv motor for another ET48 2.0 build, but has been lost in the post, so need to re-order, and have decided to go with the XR8 Pro instead considering I doubt I will ever run above 4s on this truck anyways.
So, I'm torn between the following options I have available to me:
To be run on short grass/gravel/dirt as a general basher - so stop/start style driving, not constant speed run style.
4s 6000mAh battery packs
I have 16T and 17T pinions in my box at the moment, will most likely start with the 16T......
UK weather, so ambient temps can fluctuate between 20-30c during the summer.....
From my understanding, the 1900kv will give me belter acceleration and less top end speed, but will produce less heat, which seems ideal for a basher? I can then always increase pinion size if I want more speed?.....
Although I see many others with bashers going for a much higher kv motor, so maybe the 2200kv may be better and perfectly adequate, and more efficient, for my intended setup while giving me the all round good speed Im after??
I cant decide!!! Help!
