Thanks Gary
Well, that is the cheapest 180 I have seen so far. Not sure how it will perform, but seeing as it says it is made for 6V, it may actually be identical to the motors I have been using...

The ones I've been using are the Team Orion Micro Elite stock motor. (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBEF5&P=7) Out of the box, they don't turn the RPMs that a stage 2 does. The torque output is astounding, however. You need to use the 11 tooth pinion and blue idler gear with this motor to get the most out of it.

This motor (http://www.hobbyetc.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?part_id=7570) is the hottest 180 I have been able to find so far. At only $13, it is the same price or a bit less than an X-Speed, and it will outperform one pretty handily.
