Motors: There isn't really a "slow" or "fast" car, its the motor. A 20 turn motor is slow, a 10 turn motor is fast. You can put an 8t. motor in the oldest car, and its your race winning super car, put a 20 in a top-of-the-line car and its crud. Enjoy. /\/\oo™

Hmmm dont know about that. What makes the race car is the driver! I bet kinwald with a rustler w/ a stinger will smoke you with a B3 and a 8 turn..... ALl the power in the world isint anything unless you can use it. Although slapping a hot motor in a crap car will make it fast, it still will be a crap car...just with a hotter motor.. my $.02

FX10 with a Nuclear Assault (9 turn)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and 1.13v/290sec 2400's (7 cell)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One fast car!!!!!!!!!!

Cams, Thats incorrect. brian kinwald is a very good driver but to some level the product DOES matter. Im sure if what you said was true, traxxas would take a couple mill and sighn a brian kinwald or a billy easton, but its not. Driving does matter, but if you put brian in a rustler, theres a difference. Just as if brian was racin an old lxt agaist the new xxxt's in the highest level of racing. That simple :D

If you do put a gr8 motor in a crappy car its a fast crappy car.

hmm a bone stock rustler with an 8 turn and a t3 or a xxxt with a twenty turn(completly hoped up). that would be a close race. i think a motor will make a difference, but so will alot of other things in a race(such as conditions of the race, weather,if youve practiced at this track before, and the driver itself). i know brian would smoke me in a race, there isn't evenn any real competition.
