why not take it to the track and try it first

not much point in having a motor to puts out 10 million rpm and 4 trillion horsepower if you cant control it, or it goes up in wheel spin


i would try setup of the vehicle first and once it is setup, then go for a faster motor.

smooth = fast, and in some cases slow = fast as u avoid crashes

Default Tested

I have tested it out on my own dirt oval. It is very short but I can easily control it. I know it needs a bigger motor the one it has now turns 30,000 rpms. So if anybody could tell me what i should get it would be appreciated.

I personally dont look at RPM's when choosing a motor for my track. Ask one of the fast guys what they are running. A 13.5 or a 10.5 will work well.

I need to know more about your track. What tires, body are you running? is it a foam tire track or are you running the stock pin-spikes?
