progress motor type?

[madbad jezza]

can anyone recommend a decent motor to go into my progress?. because its a big heavy car i'm more interested in torque/power rather than all out speed.

cheers,

james.

How about the Tamiya RZ/TZ motors. They have bags of torque (500gf-cm) And a good RPM (26000-27000)

mmmmmm.....i've tried a technigold motor but it never really had much ooomph to it - but i am still using a the kit mechanical speed controller and i dont think the kyosho speed controllers are very good - my scorpion/beetle didn't come alive properly until i fitted an ESC. so i might bin the kyosho speed control and try again.

I run a lemans 240st in mine. This particular car is converted to all ball bearings, but even a bone stock progress can handle this motor. My progress is fast for its age, and spits up loads of dirt and gravel. Much fun. No need to worry too much about torq. Stock progress gearing is very torqy to begin with. Just dont go too crazy with low winds as there is alot of drag in the drive train and the motor will get hot. BTW, any vintage runner is better off with an esc rather than an msc.
