Apparently I can't even post URLs to my posts in this forum yet, so go to google, type in "tamiya plasma edge motor", and click on the second link from the top. A good number of the specs are listed there at that URL.
The motor is a 540 Mabuchi, like I said. I don't know anything more about it than that. As for how many turns the motor has, no idea. I would think it's a 20 turn?
Does this URL help at all so you can recommend me some motors?
Alright! well i know that your ESC(electronic speed controller) is rated for a minimum of 26t. This lowers the choices, but definitely doesn't eliminate them. The most common motor to upgrade to for your car is the Tamiya BZ motor. This thing is waaay faster than your stock one. But there is a catch. This motor is a 23T motor and there is a 50/50 chance you will kill your ESC. So, if i were you, i would go with what i know works. This motor

is rated at 27T and is a racing motor =). Before you go out and buy this, do you have a hobby shop that is local to you?
