Need for Speed

Hello, Im new to the forum. I jsut purchased a HPI Sprint 2 with the Nascar truck body. Its a 4wd street car with a 17T Tornado for a motor. I dont really know what the number of turns means but Im looking for something faster. Can someone recommend a faster motor.
I used to race r/c cars about 17 years ago. I had the original alum body Team Assoc. RC-10, what a great car that was. However I havent had a r/c car since then and I really dont know anything about whats out there.:uhoh:

Are you looking to drift or for just speed? if your looking for speed i highly suggest going brushless. you should check out the mamba 5700, 6900, and the 7700. with these motors you will be hitting speeds of 30mph all the way up to 60mph+:evillol: :naughty: :iceslolan :smokin: the link is http://castlecreations.com. going brushless my be a little more but its a whole lot better in the long run. you will never have to worry about matinance again and you have crazy fast speeds. also look into gettin Li-Po or Li-Mn batterys for crazy power and long run times. hope this helps

Brushless is cool but very expensive..

For the price of a brushless setup you could buy a 3.3 traxxas 4tec and do 72mph OTB.

But for people who don't like nitro brushless is the way to go

I have to say brushless is the way to go in ly personal openion.. i have a nitro TC3 , nrushless stampede, and more, but between the two of those my brushless was not that expensive and a 5 minute install...it also beats the TC3 in a drag race to a 1/4 block distance... past that the nitro pulls past...it has 2gears and better transmitter to go further...
But like i was saying my stampede is a basic truck with the MAMBA 7700 BRUSHLESS, and some other upgrades and im verry happy with it! i wouldnt doubt if that truck can go 50mph easily!!!
BTW... the 7700 mamba system costs about $210. depending where you look... and can be swapped to any 1/10 truck or car! so you can convert anything else you might buy to come!
