I have a 19x1 and it's always been solid for me. Yesterday, I was in need of a lower turn motor, so I quickly picked up a 13x2, same SV2 series, motor. This motor was quite punchy, enough to carry me through the entire day. It was quite smooth and I had no problem or issues with it...

You can find Team Orion SV2s for less then $30... I suggest get a 13T to 15T for your RB5, I think 13T is plenty of power for a 2WD...
Over the course of this thread I have decided to skip the brushed motors all together. Im going to pay a little extra extra money for a decent brushed system and i wont have to worry about all the maintenance hassles. Just seems like the most sensible thing to do.
