I have been out of the R/C and Tigermoth scene for so long...and I wanted to ask some questions...

I used a geared brushless motor 8 years ago and have tremendous success. If I remember correctly, we clocked the Pico TM at over 30 mph. It also had unlimited vertical climbing abilities [could go vertical until out of sight].

The guy at our local hobby shop recommended the RIMFIRE 370 and assured me it would work better than my geared motor...

Here are my questions:

Will the RIMFIRE 370 give as much torque/power as the geared motors from 8 years ago?

Does anyone still make the gears and geared motors anymore?

Thank you,

Soar

PS here's a pic of the motor they sold me...
