Ok guys here it is. I decided on a whim to install the CC mamba monster 2200 kv in the buggy after weighing my buddys decked out savage and it came in at 14 lbs. I put my buggy on same scale and without batteries came in at 16.4 lbs. Stock pinion is a 5mm bore so no problems there or with the concentric mounting ring. My motor temps are in the high 130's to low 150's under wide open throttle runs on pavement for 10 minutes and this is without the castle fan on the motor. ESC is 114 degrees. According to Castle, the sweet spot for the motor is 150-160 degrees with a warning at 185. On the gear charts with a 4.1 final ratio, I am projected at 52 mph. The mamba monster has no issues what so ever pushing this XBE around!! Been running literally all day and no problems. I will keep you posted but if you are looking for a system it seems the Castle Creations Mamba Monster 2200kv will do you right. I wll keep you posted if anything changes.
