i need a cheap but fast motor for my mini-t. It needs to be under $20 or at least near that price. ant help would be appreciated.

your not gonna find anything that cheap. Most motors are about $40 and will wear out faster then the stock motor, but be faster.

I messed up. i ment the micro-t. The 1/36 scale. So what is a good motor that does not cost an extensive amount of money but will be some kind of upgrade. It would be nice if it could pull wheelies.

my micro t would pull wheelies stock. There is only one other motor that you can buy unless you go brushless, but then you have to replace the reciever and servo. Here it is:

Some people complain that they couldn't see a difference and others say it is way better. You do have to break in this motor to see gains.

Another option is simply gettting a better battery. Losi makes a 7.4v lipo battery and charger that makes the car so much faster, but it tends to overheat and shut off.

is it worth going brushless

My Feedback: (1)

I currently have the lipo with stock motor. I tried the lipo and the brushless at the horizon hobby booth in Chicago at the expo and it was def. better than stock. Noticable difference. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't go brushless, especially as it seems you don't fully understand your car yet.

Brushless will require you to get a new servo and reciever. Plus you WILL be breaking more parts
