Motor Voltage
I think all the 380 or 400 motors rated for 7.2v will do 8.4 without problems. Most of the ones I see actually say 7.2 - 8.4v.
I'm going to the LHS to see what they have for motors and hopefully try something different. I agree with Newberry.... I don't need more speed or power, but more efficient and durable would be nice.
