Default Which RC18T Motor?

Which micro motor is better for on-road carpet track racing? I am going to put it in the RC18T!

United RC K3==[link=http://www.unitedrc.com/store/product.asp?ID=28]K3 Link[/link]

Fantom Mini-Mod== Go to www.fantomracing.com click products-then go to electric motors-then hit micro modified motors and mini-mod will come up!!

Any other motor suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I would like alot of top-end for racing!! Enough bottom end for mini jumps and good starts though!

Drew

Which one and why?

As i said before.
Get Radishacks Pro RK370 motor (on $bay). It's tuned properly to maximize the power bandwidth.
K3's are tuned for high rpms only.
Its the best bang for your buck. [8D]

For the RC18T, doesn't the Krystal-3 motor need a big block motor adapter?

i burned up to rk370 from daniel not to mention i know him from other boards etc... i just have to recommend something based on my experience. i have the k3 and in my opinion the URC k-3 is quiker then either of the pro rk370 motors i had. i used to tell people to get the rk370 till i burned up both with the same setup as i use on with my k3 wich is a novak XRS esc and a 6 cell gp1100 i have run my rc18t so many times with my k3 and have never had a problem yet.
