The Mamba and Tekin motors are a bit small for that car and burn out rather easily.

By far the best 2 motors I have tried in this car are the Wraith 7K (7000kv) and the Permax 400/4D (5200kv). The Permax runs much cooler and needs to be geared low to get the speed but it's a beast so it can take it.

I have ordered a JPerkins 9200kv motor but it hasn't arrived yet so cannot comment just yet but from what I ave read it seems it might be even more of a monster.

I live in the UK so have no idea if it's available in the US. You could contact www.moormodels.co.uk and ask them to ship it to you if you really want it.

The Wraith is working great in mine, it's easily in the mid 40 MPH range.

I too have experienced the MM 8000 burn up in these cars.
