I've been using a $15 falcon 7 motor from my slotcar stuff w/stock gearing and awd and my car is way faster than stock w/ about half hour to forty five minute run times.  Its running the 7.4v lipo flat packs, rs bearings (ceramics on way) rs awd (atomic on way) and aluminum cvds ( fronts in front and back),w/rs rims? and tires.

i run a mabuchi 260 with 1:1 gear ratios...and im fond of the sb hybrid....but i dont get my car out as much as i used to......but both of those are easy to come by .....the mab.260 is good for high speed but not the greatest for acceleration....and the sb is good and tourquey for drifting but has a crappy top end...
