You know that you cannot usually run 'novice' class with a mod motor, but good cheap ones are Speed Gems, they are fast, and like I said, cheap. Also, the Chameleon would be a good one for you.

stormerhobbies.com has some peak performance bushing modifieds with surface mounted capacitors for about $20. I like the bearings in the Speed Gems but I also like soldering less! :) I have one of both so far.

Use the motors you have now to practice. Remember, you can gear the car to go faster with out changing motors. The winner of the race is not as much who is faster, but who is the better driver. And don't forget, HAVE FUN! When you decide to go modified, I like the Speed Gems, great motors for the price.
