No mention of Novak? I've been running one in trucks for a couple of years, enough power and control for mid air back flips in my E-Revo.

I've not tried it in a buggy yet, but given it can move my trucks round okay I would have thought it would be pretty good in a buggy. |
Oh yeah, I did forget Novak. They are a little behind on the times now, and don't really produce a suitable motor for 1/8 buggy or truggy. The minimum kV available is 3000kV, which is 3S only for buggy and truggy use (see chart in guide). Not only that, the rotors are smaller than on many of the other '1/8' motors, so it doesn't give much torque for racing, which really is what you need. They are good for speed runs and general bashing though.
Ami-SMB, I do race at KMRC/Kent yes, still the only electric there though...
Having said that however, quite a few people are interested in doing them now, and my uncle has now got a brushless truggy too. So that's two at Kent now! Only (lots) more and we can have our own class!
