Typhon TLR / 4s : 1515 2200kv vs 1512 1800kv

[Brushlessholic]

Looking at getting a tlr typhon and was curious what motor to get?

I’ll be running a mamba monster x on 4s bashing in fields (low grass) dirt etc. and want a top speed around 40mph and quick from the start, don’t care about top end.

I’m looking at a castle motor, either 1515 2200kv or 1512 1800kv. I’m in Florida so it gets really hot and humid. I was thinking of going with the lower kv motor for lower temps.

What do y’all think?

I run a 2250kv HW Zerun XR8Plus setup on 4s. My TLRT. 22/50 gets me 58 mph FWIW. Runs fairly cool in 80F+ temps. With a nice single 40mm fan and fan mount.
I'm sure you can run lower gearing than I do, to suit your target speed. TLRT is fairly light and nicely balanced running 4s packs.
I didn't like 6s packs at all in this 1/8 buggy.
Common to run a higher Kv when running 4s packs. You just gear up as needed.
On 6s, 1800kv is better suited IMHO. Running cooler with a lower kv.
Drop your Motor timing all the way down. What I do. Don't need any timing. If it is adjustable.
Just creates more heat with little if any gain in performance with Bashing applications.
Not familiar with CC ESC's myself.
