Here is a quick blurb on the ZipZap Nos engine and the 2.6 microsizer vs the 'official' Tomy 2.6 that comes with the special edition cars:

The ZipZap NOS is a slower motor but ran for 10 straight hours of play. That is a ton of time. This was pretty much non stop ( ok 1 break for pizza ) charge and go. The 2.6 special edition ( Imoprt ) died 8 hours in. The other 2.6 motor ( Microsizer in the box ) is still kicking but stalls a bit now and again. The most reliable motor has been the NOS probably because it's slower. We run the hell out of these engines when we play. The Arena games are really hard on them because of the mass amount of forward and reverse you are doing non stop.

All of the 2.2 engines are still up and running but one that came from Microsizer defective.

I guess unless you drag race, I would stick to the 2.6 and lower for the best overall bang for the buck. Has anyone else noticed these motors lasting longer than 8+ hours? I get the feeling we are the luckiest bunch on the planet.
