I would like to know the diff between brands of motors. Basically I run VTA (17.5), oval car/truck (13.5/17.5), and looking into world GT (10.5).

I would like to know the diff between brands. Who runs the most torque, rpm, and so forth. My hobby shop sells multiple brands, but I own the following: Tekin, Trinity, Orion, Losi, & Fantom.

How do I find out this info? Any help would be great.

IMHO the difference between good quality motors (novak, fantom, trinity, etc) is gearing. Some may offer more torque. Some may offer more RPM. If geared correctly, i think they all can be fast.

That being said, I prefer Novak motors. Never had any bad luck with them, and have been competetive with them.

I agree 100%. The major difference for me(running off road) is what speedo and battery I put in front of the motor.I also own a few different brands(novak ,trinity, speed passion) and from what I am experiencing it is all about finding the right ratio for each brand of motor.
