Currently, the orange motor is the fastest for the MTs that RS sells. I'm not sure about using the other smaller-type motors, but my first hunch is that they prolly wouldn't have enough torque.

Also, if I wanted to increase range, what would be the best things to do? Is the receiver's antenna like the ZZSE's?

The easiest non-mod method is to simply slip a small straw or coffee stirrer over the antenna. The straighter vertically that you can keep the antenna, the better your range will be.
The receiver antenna on the MTs is jut like the non-SE ZipZaps. The non-SEs use a thicker wire, whereas the SEs have a much thinner wire.
The bodies of the MTs on the other hand 'tho, have a smaller hole in the body for the antenna to slip through (just like the SE bodies do).
The reason that I mention this is that on a regular non-SE ZipZap you can rig up an antenna tube using regular 1/10 scale antenna tubing with a bit of heat-shrink tubing formed on the end of it, so that it fits snugly in the non-SE body's antenna hole.
On the SEs, the antenna wire and body hole is much smaller, and a regular WD-40 straw works perfectly. Being that the MT bodies are essentially SE bodies, but the antennas are using the non-SE antenna wires, you'll prolly need to drill out the body antenna hole a bit to accommidate something larger other than a WD-40 straw.
