I have an 8.5 in my 2wd and it is more than fast enough for our medium-sized, bumpy club track.

I think you need to look at the kv rating for the top end and look at the turns for the bottom end and try and get a good mixture of both. I found at PDA when I got a 7.5 it was better than my 6.5 at doing the quads as it had much better initial torque.
