G-Plus / Sizzlers motor swap?

Have any of you ever heard of swapping out a Sizzler motor into a G-Plus chassis. I hear from a long time racer that this produced one of the fastest slot cars he had seen .

I had never heard of a Sizzler before, so I had to do some research. Those were part of the Hotwheels line, the cars were battery powered and used an open can type motor. I would expect that the motor is intended to be run at a low voltage, maybe 3 volts. In that case it would be a rocket at 18-20 volts, but its life might be short. BSRT had high performance motors of this sort.

Thanks Rich, short life would not bother me if I could get them at a reasonable price. Our heat races are only three laps and our features just 5 laps. I run a lot of set ups that would not last for any type of distance.
