Yes, the Tenshock is quite a bit faster

8ight-E doesn't think so, but most of the reason is his MMP esc can't supply the extra amps the Tenshock is capable of using. With an RX8, the difference is quite noticeable. In his world of going by KV ratings, all motors are the same speed

Push control works till you tap the brakes. Either in the corner, or in the air, then it's back to the drag which either slows you down, or continues your truck into a nosedive in the air I personally think a motor should function without the drag, without relying on bandaids to fix it's shortcomings.

I don't think it's as fast as the new Tekin 4-pole motor though, that thing is insane. It is, however, 50$, and not 150$, and available NOW The Tekin has a large rotor too, but does NOT have the annoying drag. Must be Magic!!!!
