Here in Holland you see numerous motors. But I think you can't go wrong with a motor.
Only thing you should know is, that the X12 version of the LRP/Nosram motor is a motor that runs really hot. For example with 12th scale I run like 48mm rollout (13,5T Boosted) with the LRP X12, and 75mm rollout, on the same track with the Team Orion VST Motor (13,5T Boosted). I like the last motor best, but it's a personal feeling.

The Corally and LRP X12 motor's have a lot of natural "drag brake" in them which can make a 12th scale drive twitchy, and also loose corner speed. Motors like GM, LRP/Nosram X11, Team Orion, Speed Passion and so on, are much smoother and therefore tent to generate more corner speed.

But like RedBullFiXX say's, you can't go wrong on a motor if you ask me.

Pulse shoot me an e-mail if you like, so maybe we can meet up here at a track in Holland or Belgium...
