I just put a sidewinder 4600 kv in my new (off ebay) Tamiya TB01 Lancer WRC(rally) and a sidewinder 5700 kv in my re-release TA01/TA02 F-150 truck last month and I was very happy for the first couple of runs with both cars until things started to break down. These brushless motors are just too powerful for plastic and even metal parts. I'm now ordering like crazy for hard-to-find parts. My wife is now complaining for non-stop arrival of packages from Asian countries and local shops. I'm still happy and I'm playing easy now with these motors. Tamiya should now start to think about putting real metal parts in their products. Should I put back my Tamiya TZ and RZ motors back? Power is addictive (but expensive)!

By the way, this TB01 rally just looks so amazing in the dirt.
