motor recommendations

[Brian Dors]

My truck is a T3. Currently I'm running a Green Machine, decent balance
between run time and speed I think.

I want to buy a motor for flying along on long concrete or hard dirt
straights. Something with a lot of TOP SPEED.
Doesn't need to accelerate fast.
A cheap design that might not be built to last is okay actually.
Run-time is negotiable so to speak.

What do you all suggest?

Low turn motor (11-14 or so) with as many winds as possible. The more
copper you have around the armature, the better.

I run a 16 turn "quint" (5) wind motor in my T3, and it's got insane
top speed for a 16 turn motor. Marginal acceleration, but that's how I
like it since I tend to run it on fairly loose stuff anyway.

Ah, umm... honestly, I don't remember. I want to say it was 14 tooth
pinion, 87 tooth spur. Maybe 86 tooth. I run pretty conservative.
