In my humble opinion, all of the big power, high dollar motors , do the average hobbiest no good , only if your into following the series and racing all over the country trying to get picked by a sponser, do you need all that power. most people I see with these 3-400 dollar motors cant drive in a straight line, spin out all the time.Power doesnt always mean speed. I can get all the power of my RG to the ground, which makes my car go straight FORWARD, when others are skateing all over the track. Most people dont have a clue what throttle control is. Dont crash, use throttle control to make it hook up, and watch and see how much faster you get.
