Tekin RX8 GEN2/Redline T8 GEN2 1/8 Buggy Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (1900kV)
Excellent combo for 1/8 e-buggy. The 1,900kv seems to be the sweet spot for 4S racing. High voltage BEC on the RX8 is great to get the most from modern high voltage servos. Have several of these, highly recommend!

Tekin RX8 GEN2/Redline T8 GEN2 1/8 Buggy Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (1900kV)
I have this ESC/Motor combo in my Serpent 811Be 2.0 and it rocks. I had a Hobbywing ESC before which blew up on me after only 2 races and I replaced it with the Tekin. It was like night and day to me and I really love the Tekin. I have the hotwire interface as well which is really cool as it allows you to change many settings and also to download team driver setups to load straight into the ESC with ease....

Tekin RX8 GEN2/Redline T8 GEN2 1/8 Buggy Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (1900kV)
I recommend this for 1/8 electric buggy. All the top speed you could ask for while having the perfect amount of bottom end power. No issues. I have had zero thermal issues with this combo.

Tekin RX8 GEN2/Redline T8 GEN2 1/8 Buggy Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (1900kV)
Perfect combination for my 1:8 Ebuggy. With so much power in the 1:8 Ebuggy class its very important to have a smooth power delivery. The RX8 delivers a very drivable power curve and will handle the longer mains without heat problems. Pretty much infinitely adjustable with the hotwire module. Highly recommended!

If there is a better motor / esc combo for a 1/8 buggy, I've never seen it. Buttery-smooth acceleration and braking, easy esc customization - it would take a LOT to get me to try something else after using Tekin.
