Stock motor. I only had one good run with my first motor with the lipo. They kept getting shorter and shoerter and stoped working. I bought another stock motor and good as new. Just make sure you leave your slipper a little loose cuz i just stripped my idler gear [

Here get this motor not the stock (this is a bit more powerfull and a bit faster) http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_...8619&cat_name=
If you order off this site (I my self highely recommend this site. GREAT ustomer service, and FAST AS shipping) make shure also buy the ball bearings and threaded wheel shafts, theyre a must have!!!!!

I have seen many cases of people burning out the motor useing lipos. Ever think it could be over heating in the motor? Since it works for a little while then stops. Just a couple things to look in to.

Thats very bad for the motor i wouldplan on getting a new one as soon as possible so you have a new one when this one dies. How warm does the esc unit get?

Well the threaded wheel shafts are a need for me (damn e-clips used to always ping off) other wise no.
The ball-bearings will improve your cars performance over all.
If your going to get one i suggest you get the other. To install BB's you need to take the wheels off and you can loose your e-clips real easy. and vice versa.
Good Luck.
