review: xtrek 3.4 motors

[betty.k]

just got a set of these motors from toyeast

http://www.toyeast.com/v2/proddetail2.asp?pdtid=A01101029

i haven’t done any hardcore testing with lots of motors and stats but i’m impressed! the test rig was my lipo and iwavered zzse. this car will destroy a crappy motor in a matter of minutes, the xtrek is just fine after a run

this rig also exagerates the difference between a weak motor and a strong one. i tested out a tomy 2.2, 3.0 (THE most underated motor in the micro world!), a good perfection 3.8. slowest was obviously the 2.2. the 3.8 is pretty fast and powerful, but the lucifer 3.0 was a touch faster and had more torque. so last i try the xtrek and….. DAYUM!!this motor is awesome!! easily had a big increase in power over the others.

so i can honestly say this motor is the best one i’ve used ever! even better than the purple zz 3.4!! and that’s not all, you get 2 in the pack plus a really cool pinion removing tool (which no one needs but hey, it’s fun!)

Betty, are these motors meant for the new X-Trek Pro cars or the old crappy ones?
