WOW! Has anyone else tried this new Piranha motor?, I did some testing last night with my new showdown chassis,and these things are like greased lightning! Even with Pauls finest xpg's in the FF category, Traction is elusive to say the least.
These motors have a very smooth response to even the lightest trigger pull,and can creep around the track at the slowest speeds. I will need to add some weight for sure if i want this car to hook up! I usually dont care for any high performance motors beyond an M/T-5,And even those are mostly for fun runs and specialty cars, but this Piranha could easily become a go-to motor for me. I tried it on the road course,and it worked equally well at lower voltages, if not better than some of the others. Bottom line, these motors are great, regardless of the low price. I dont concern myself with rpm's and/ or torque values,as i am a seat of the pants racer. If it preforms well, thats all i need. These are good motors :D
My humble opinion of course
