I'm looking for what kind of amps the motor requires....I figure I would just find an adaptor to match.

Has anyone else done this? I did a few searches, but only came up with lipo info.
a 25 amp power supply will work just fine, I used one for two years racing indoors and never had any problems, you can find them used pretty reasonable, 50 to 100 bucks.
