if i were in the market for motors i wud definately pick up a Alpha motor. They are startin to get pretty popular here in SoCal. I test drove one and it was very smooth through the whole power band with a ton of top end, they are gettn in the 10 minute range and goin for just over $200, i want to say $225 but dont quote me. Check the Aplha thread for the reviews and see what people are saying. Also Jimmy (racecrafter) and Chris (Tech5) from Trackstar carry the motors, they have a thread: Trackstart racing, great peeps!
