haha.... i just tried the plasma dash motor. I drove two circles on my driveway, picked up my car, and I think the FETs were about to melt off (double stack 7389).

That thing would be damn quick on my lipo car, but i'd need an off board turbo with some good heat sinks to handle it.

I also have a power dash motor. IT was 1/3 the cost. I think it said 2.4V and 19000rpm on the back. That thing ran pretty good on my lipo car. I put it in my mini-z and drove it around for a while. It was a little bit faster than a stage 2 RS.

After about 8 minutes though the car went dead. It still responded to turning but no forward or backwards. I brought it inside and while taking the body off I heard something rattle inside. One of the FETs melted off.... on 4 cells with the power dash!!! I was not impressed with my new mini-z. Fets are replaced and will probably be double stacked today.

Also, you can find the plasma dash for the cheapest i've seen here: http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/tam/tam15186.htm along with other tomiya cheaper motors.
