Thank you all for the excellent replies! Like I stated before, I have no idea what I would put it in. My Slot-it kenwood w/ sidewinder and mag set-up is about the best thing on my track. It doesn't need help for now. I have nothing to take the big-can motors so far, but I am considering building up a TSRF car in 1/32 so I might go the big-can there. My arch rival suggested an f-1 loaded with magnets would be his choice for a "spear of destiny". It might well be good in a heavy car, geared down. I don't know but the prospects are interesting, and the motor costs a bit less. I have heard that these motors don't get too hot, and last long (whatever that means). Enough fast laps and they all heat up pretty good in my experience. I disagree that most stock motors have more than enough power for most home tracks. My experience has been the opposite in many cases, possibly due to the increasing inconsistency of build. Some Mabuchis are fast and some are outright DOGS for instance. I have noticed that cars from Fly, especially, were much better a few years ago. I have to upgrade the motors of the same cars (new) to keep up. I don't count on the stock car to be roadworthy out-of-the-box anymore. If I get one that needs the minimum mods, I count myself lucky. Again, thank you all.
Cheers!
