RE: Thinking of getting into rc drifting...
What do you mean by not getting enough speed?
Are you losing speed because of wheelspin?
I've fitted my stock Tamiya 540 motor to me Pro3 and it still drifts fine, you shouldn't really need a quick motor for drifting.
The Super drifts are gripier than the T-Drifts, so they should enable you to get some decent speed up before throwing the car into it's slide.
