(about 15,850rpm at 7.2v) It might seem a little slow when compared to some of the newer, hotter silver cans, but on our shorter carpet tracks, it works perfectly. The added bonus is loads of torque.

Torque = acceleration. Way more fun to drive the Orca Combo. Just went out today with a Tekin 17.5 coupled with the Q'Spark (one notch of boost) and ran the mini in a smooth parking lot, whoop! that is some fun right there. Good way to burn off those old tires
