It might be best to tell us what type of car you will use the motors in, 1/10th off road, 1/12th LMP? If people know what type of car it's for you will get better advice.

Speed Passion Motors
Don't discount Speed Passion V3 motors.
At £30 a pop great bang for your bucks. Good smooth motors loads of torque so can run a Lower FDR. Quite a few people at our club use them to great effect. 7.5's being the wind of choice for 1/10 2wd off road buggys and 6.5 for 4wd. Check em out.

Another vote for speed passion v3. Cheap and cheerful.
In off-road, unless you're running on ultra high grip astro, it's likely that you'll have more power than grip anyway. You could go nuts and spend £60+ per motor, but it's ultimately pointless. |

For off road I don't think it makes as much difference as say GT12 what make of motor you use, you will or can have more than enough power it depends if you want smooth power delivery or not.
Heard many people say that Speed Passion motors are smooth but generally you need to go 1 turn lower to get the same power as most other motors, so a 7.5t Thunder Power will be about the same as a 6.5t Speed Passion. Also heard Orion motors are very smooth. LRP are very powerful! I run Thunder Power in my off road buggies and they have been superb, cheaper than a lot of the 'big names' but plenty of power and still pretty smooth. I run 8.5t in 2wd and 6.5t in 4wd, both are more than quick enough with bags of grunt and speed. |
