I posted a PM to Glaciar Girl with this question but it is better here in public.
How is it that the venom motor is an upgrade over the stock motor if they both have the same power rating (370)? Am I making an incorrect assumption about the meaning of that number? How does that number system work?
I would like to improve the performance of my slo-v also but don't want to go the brushless route yet.
That number gives you the size, not the rating. All 370 motors are about the same size but can be different in performance. Bushings vs ball bearings. Different timing of the brushes on the same motor can give different results from speed to torque.
