RE: brushless motor
I think it depends on the truck. I just did my Revo and went with a 2200kv-It's rated as a 1/8 scale size. 2650kv more a 10th scale and on down from there. That's all I can tell ya.

RE: brushless motor
I have a 1515 2200kv and just installed a 1518 1800kv (picked one up from CC for $65) in my Revo. The 1518 is super strong on the bottom end and a bit slower on the top end. With gearing it up, however, I should get similar performance to the 1515 but with lower temps.

RE: brushless motor
multiply the KV by the voltage to get RPM.<div>my pede uses 3500kv</div><div>my 1/8 SC truck uses 2230kv. </div><div>the bigger the vehicle thje less kv generally</div>
