AE 3300kv motor = to what in a "turn" motor?

I have a stock AE 3300kv motor and will upgrade the motor and ESC soon.
What would be an equivalent 2 pole half turn motor regarding power?
TIA

My front hubs and caster blocks are getting real sloppy. Are there replacement parts that tighten it up, or just buy new? I am using FT parts on an RS A arm, RS steering assy.

I just buy new cheaper then alluminum ugrades and work well...i have the alluminum in the rear but thats only because you get a bigger bearing on the outside and the bigger bearing is better. avid alluminum steering bellcrank good too

Ah yes the go to tyre the calibur is!! I put a set on my sons SC10 and it seems to fit him well on just about every place we go! Keep in mind he is 8!

Wait for the .2..... You will regret it if you don't.

I just bought a kit last night, was gonna wait for the .2, but I figured by the time us mortals could get one, indoor season would be about over and I want to play now. New kit releases are nothing new in this hobby, just do what you want, because they will ALWAYS come out with something new.
