I run a Tekin Gen3 ESC and a Surpass Rocket V6 17.5 motor. I am one of the fastest on straights. However, I'm not good enough to keep up with the top drivers anywhere else. But, with the new motors, I fall behind them. Surpass is about to drop a new motor. I'm pretty anxious to see it.

When I compare my motor with the new 2026 ROAR legal low IR motors, my motor falls behind a little. I have seen the REDS Racing Pro Team select motor right on the heels of a Cayote motor. At the end of the run, the REDS motor was running about 5 degrees cooler than the Cayote.
