A great choice for slower drivers, drivers with heavy fingers, or drivers that like the losi in it's heavy and lethargic handling stock form as it's a motor that won't get you in trouble via explosive power output and wheelspin.

I hear it's a beast on 3s, but thats irrelevant to my needs

and yes, I ran a 20t pinion
To each his own I guess....only time you need speed is straights. Which it hangs with any other motor. Around track it doesn't really matter what you run.

I guess I like the truck stock...until someone with a heavily lightened one beats me I'll stick with the heavy, lethargic version and sluggish motor.
