Have ordered a tamiya sport tuned now. Will keep the 2x10 turn motor for special occasions. Slower motor will make it easier for my son to use too. Thanks for all the advice.

Thats what i like about the hornet -- it had the "life's like a box of chocolates" feel about it!!!! I got skate park and bmx jumps area within walking distance-- playtime is looming[]

Thanks Gruntfuggly and john for the info. Cant wait for it to arrive now! So it's gonna be a little quicker than my last car then -- Hornet with standard 540 motor 17 years ago! I've also bought some vapextech 3700mAh batteries, but i presume my run time wont be brilliant with this motor. I've seen the Tamiya Sport Tuned motors going fairly cheap on ebay, would one these give a noticibly extended play time? And would it be much slower?

Generally then, as a rule of thumb, does a 2 x 10turn motor have more less power or RPM than a 10 turn single?

I'm new to all this and have just had what i think (hope) is a bargain (when it arrives). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...N%3AIT&rd=1 This comes with a GM Racing 2 x 10 motor. Firstly, is this motor any cop for an offroad car. Secondly what do the numbers mean. I am technically minded and realise the 10 means 10turns, so the lower impedance will give more power than say a 17turn. But what does the 2 mean. And how does that relate to its suitability for a specific purpose.
