the other "secret" about a brushed stock motor is to buy a brand new one and gear it to go as fast as it can without lugging, use brand new matched 4600NiMh, and charge them at 6-7amps or higher. That's the fastest of the combo's. The downside is if you have other racers who are good, meaning they never get marshalled and can run all consistent laps, is that you'll need to burn up the motor in one race day to win. Essentially be a great driver throw alot of money into your race day and throw out the motor on your way out of the track.
