Anyway, a less valid reason that may still be viewed as being more logical is that a 6.5T gives spare power on jumps and keeps your landing approach adjustable: Powerful motor = Effective nose-dive prevention. I've experienced already on the last car that mid-air throttle allowed you to play a lot with how the buggy flew It's the same principle that allows you to make backflips after take-off... but applied here to a slightly less serious degree (so far)

Also, I'm running exactly the same Motor/ESC combo as my RWD buggy, so it's easier for me to adjust and one car does not outperform the other because of a smoother brushless set.
