I also agree, setup & driving are still THE most important things, but I'll admit it can be fun to play with the new goodies from time to time. Having said that, I think if you want the newest in motors & don't mind spending the money, word is the new generation motors from Team Scream(The One), Team Powers(Actinium V2), Fantom(FR-1 V2), Motiv(M-Code 2) are worth trying. They use what's been referred to as a short thin stack, apparently further reduces internal resistance over a regular short stack. On Road racers are already swearing by them, & I have one myself(the Actinium V2, tried it in both my 1/12 scale pan car & now in my B5m Factory Lite), & so far I'm pretty impressed with it, feels strong even with a somewhat average amount of timing(45 degrees, it has room for considerably more, but I like what it's doing so far). Just a little food for thought....
