5.5T motor too much power?
 

Hi guys,

Im pretty much new to 1/10 2wd buggy racing but i have driven 1/8 nitro. Im thinking of buying a 5.5t motor for my 1/10 buggy do you think this motor would be too much power for 2wd??

Thanks for any help.

short answer YES


it all depends on the track m8 as well but the guys are running round the 7T mark

I ran a 6.5T for a while, (one day) burnout/wheelie/powerslide tastic..........

Running what is effectively a 9.5T (ish) now, virtually no boost either. Will either boost this one as much as i can or go to a faster motor once we move outside after easter.
If i change it'll probably be to a 7.5T, and i only really need the extra top end to keep up on the back straight! The rest of the track is fine with the motor i have and a little bit of boost!
