keeping it simple...

mods are faster then stock
mods have adjustable timing
mods are more expensive

davioh

thanks! so which would be better to use? mod?

one really isn't better than the other. I just depends what you want to do. If you are racing then you need to decide if you want to race mod or stock. I race stock simply because my driving skills are not up to the task of controlling a mod powered car. If you just bash and want to beat your friends racing down the street then a cheaper mod may be for you.

Hope this helps

also if you are just bashing i would pick up a machine would mod motor instead of handwound.

they are a little cheaper.

stock :
27 turns
fixed timing
bushing


mod :
any turns from 5 to 27 turns
u can set the timing (sometimes noton cheap modifieds)
bushing ou bearing
handwound or machine wound
cheapest mod is cheaper than a stock

before choosing one, see which kind of rac you want to attend, if u are a beginner go for stock it will be a better school for driving, you can use mods for practice (i heard you said u have several motors)

read carefully this page, it will help you a lot to how a motor works
