Mod motor question.
 

I am new to the TC racing world. I race indoor carpet. Tight technical track. I am currently running stock class. I want to switch to mod class. On my track usally the best mod guys are only 1 to 2 laps faster then the best stock guys, depending on the layout. Here is my problem. I have decent batts as far as runtime is concerned. I have 2400 nicads. They lack the punch that the top guys have in stock class. We race 5 mins. What turn motor could I use to stay competitive with the mods guys, but still have enough run time to make the 5 mins? Obviously I can't use 10, 12, 13 turn motors. What motors could I use, specific winds, and brands if you could.

Oh yeah, when I discharge my 2400's right after charging, with a 10 bulb discharger. It takes 6:40 to 7:00 mins. until the deans black box cuts them off.

I know this is proably a very stupid question to most of you experienced guys. So please just bare with me. LOL

FYI...At the Novak race last year at Trackside in Milwaukee the Associated camp was running 2400's with a 12 turn and making 5 minutes without a problem. This race was a 12 turn no lower modified motor limit. Just some food for thought.

I run a 13T triple with 2000's 6 cell

HUH? Is that 5 mins? C'mon you can't be serious.

I have run 10x3 and made 5 minutes with my 2400's no problem, but my 2400's are pretty good

I've seen top level racers run 7x3 with 3000 for 5 mins!! You should be fine with say a 10 - 13 turn motor. I run a 13x2 with 2400, and get around 5 and a half mins on run time. I use Fantom 2400's.

im currently running either an 11x3 or 9x3 chrome touring modified. i make about 6+min on the 11x3 and 5+min on the 9x3. i charge my unmatched sanyo 3000s at 3 amps for 2400+ sec. if i lower my amp rate to 2 or 2.5 amps, do you guys think my runtime increase? if yes, by how many much? ill be using the same gearing. on the other hand, if i decrease the charge rate, will performance suffer - less punch and slower top speed?

yea i make 5 mins. I'm thinking of getting an 11 or 12 t now because ive cut my 13 too many times. I made about 6 mins with my 2000's with a 13 triple and 115/32 gearing
