I'm not racing in any class specifically, I just need more power for the jumps and everything.
it would be cool if someone could explain why they would use this or that motor. thanks ✌️
When I was racing with brushed motors I found between 12-Turn and 15-Turn to be good for my 1/10th scale cars.
But that was for 1/10th scale buggies and Stadium Trucks.
Something I see few people acknowledging is that the SCTs are just bigger and heavier than the cars the typical 540 motors were "meant" for. (By "meant for" I mean the 540 size motor was picked out of the possible variations because it was big enough to produce the desired power levels while not being over-stressed to the point of having a short lifetime.)
If you really want to run brushed, I'd recommend contacting Holmes Hobbies for a good custom built 550 motor with FB9 or FB12 magnets. I think there's a guy on RCTech with the screen name "fyrstormer" who has done that. He may give you some hints on what would work.
