Default Budget Motor Poll!!! 1/8th Monster Truck Basher

Just like it says, this is a poll for the best budget motor....absolutely no mention of expensive motors ie. Tekin or Neu Castle. Now, the motors I am listing are ones I have found that have good reviews and are for a good price. I am sure there are others and please, let me know what they are!!! The only rules are that they are budget i.e. under 100 bucks and must be 6s compatible.

One: Tenshock X802 - 2100kv http://www.funshobby.com/index.php/p...+Shipping.html

Two: Tenshock X801 - 2150kv http://www.funshobby.com/index.php/p...+SHIPPING.html

Three: Leopard Model 4274 - 2000kv http://www.ebay.com/itm/RC-Car-4274-...#ht_3875wt_888

I have now!! lol, How do these motors comapare though? They all have very similar specs except for the tenshock which pulls another 40 amps and 1400 watts more according to the specs. I also notices the can is 4mm shorter on the tenshock as well. Doesn't that mean the torque would be less than the others?
