Default slate Motors

question for all you Guru's is there a breakdown or a reference chart for KV's on motors ? I am looking at going with CC slate but not sure what KV to get, I mainly do slow trailing and crawling it will be for a 1.9 honcho

2280 has a good all round. 2850 needs to be geared down. 3800kv IS A PINION EATING MONSTER!!!!! never ran the 1900kv ... My neighbor does on a 2speed with 3s and it seems yo do alright

I personally like the 2850kv for trailing just for the mud holes that may or maynot come around lmao

I have been running the Mamba-X and 1406-2280 Slate motor w/9t pinion in my #1 TRX4 for about a year now and have no complaints. But, if I were to do it over again I would use the same ESC but go with one of the Holmes Hobbies Puller Pro motors. BTW, here is the HH motor comparison chart.

Also checkout Team Brood Racing, they have a nice selection of motors. I have one of their Vigor 550 Size 2600KV sensored motors in my Rock Rey.

The mambas datalogging is great! But I wonder why I don't get any data about the motors temperature from my slate 2850 motor. They are from castle both, so why this should not work? Is this typical? I have the 2.02 version.
