The 130 super motor?

I have been racing xmods for some time now, I have seen some of the good, the bad & the ugly when it comes to modification.
I have a little project of my own called the "XZ". It's near almost finished but I have one problem.......... the motor. I have tried the 180's & 280's, but I thought that I would keep is small and light as possible, so I decided to go with the 130.

I pretty much tried all of the after market motors out there. Didn't like them. Don't get me wrong they were fast but I want the fastest. I guess I will make my own, hey how hard can it be???
HARD.
Here is a pic of my first motor.... not bad after 20 attempts! But it gets too hot after 5 minutes of hard racing.

My second go at it got the heat down a bit. I could race about 10-12 mins before I had to take a time out. Not bad I say, but I needed more that the 35-36.8K rpms I was getting from it. Back to the drawing board.

Here is a pic of my second motor.

I think that I have done it! maxium cooling, high rpms(about 46-49K) and some good torque. I call it the Impala. It was perfect for me, that is until I started searching the net and seen some 130 motors out there saying they reached 89K rpms. So now I am back at the drawing board looking to past my 49K rpm mark.
This one I will call the cheetah.

Here is a pic of the Impala.

The reason why I posted this thread is to find out who has the fastest 130 out there. If you think you do, post a pic & how much rpm's your motor has. If it tops mine, I will make you an offer(making them is hard work!).

Look into NML's.
Some of the best hand-wound motors out there...

The 89k motors are probably slot car motors running on 13.8v.

I like the sound of a 130 motor that can take 4 lithiums and don't get fried! But all the slot motors I've seen tops out around 40K rpms. I wish it was that easy just to but a slotcar motor.

It is funny, its funniest when you buy a motor can & some bearings, carbon brushes plus some 24gauge wire & wind your motor "X" amount of times, ajust the timing, test it and call it your own.
If you ever made a motor yourself you know you buy alot of parts and put it together to call your own.
Does this site tell you how fast your car will go in the street?
How much torque output you will have? Rpm's?
If it does....... let me get the address! I'm looking for a really good motor!(I would like to use 14volts)

The motor I have (with the green slotcar can) is a 180 size already, just 2.9mm wider(you can almost feel the torque). I also have a NLM(just got it). It does the 40+ on the checker, but when I put it in the street, well thats another story. I believe it will do 40 on a new paved road but I don't have that many in NYC.
As far as I know, the NML motors uses Copper with Armored Poly-Thermaleze coating. I am waiting for a silver version to be produced.
Dietryin-
Do you wind your 180 motors like a 180 or 130?
