I would go with a Putnam monster based motor. TP's rep speeks for itself.

if your track allows co-27 go with that... i've found that you can gear a co27 1-2 teeth bigger than a monster and it will still run cooler and than any other stock out there.. if you talk to anyone that has one they'll say nothing but good things about the co27.. when they get ROAR approved i'm sure they will replace the monsters..

just my opinion... i just ordered 2 co27 my self..

EA motorsports makes a really strong motor. He has the Co 27 and monsters!

Unless they're doing something in the grey area of the rules with winding/balancing, after a cut and brush change, they're all just the same EPIC-based can motor anyway...
