Default In need of some help on motors.

I have a few motors and i dont know which one is better. I have a losi 7.5,lrp x-11 8.5 and a tekin redline 8.5. I have heard losi motors are slower than what they say they are and for the two 8.5s i have heard each companys rate their motors differently. Which one is faster thats all im needing. Thanks.

What vehicle are running it in? Should be able to get that motor going well with some boost and or turbo. Gonna have to play with gearing and timing to find the sweet spot. I suggest going to the tekin website and copy one of the team drivers setup sheets. As a starting point.
