Gordon, You seem to like the quicker motors,....If you are looking for more performance/quality, look at either the Proslot Euro Mk1, and some of the JK Hawk motors..........these are sized (can and endbell) so that they will snap directly into any motor pod that uses a FC-130 (Slot-it,NSR etc.) motor.

AB Slotsport (UK), Professor Motor, PCH, Mid America, etc. etc. sell a variety of these, and they come in various specs from mild to wild...........they are rebuildable, have proper magnets/brushes/springs, are inexpensive, and the the quicker ones are used in many 1/24th commercial track spec classes, and are impressively quick.

For home use you may want to look at

ProSlot Euro Mk1 4001.(37K) , or the ProSlot Euro Mk1 4002..(47K).......both of these have very good torque due to their high gauss magnets.......................or,...you can buy one with a GP 12 arm, poly neo magnets, goldust brushes and ballraces both ends 

Here is a "4001" in a Slot-it motor pod..........they will fit anywhere a FC-130 is currently used.

Thanks Chris,

My main problem is availability around here. The one big dealer I have used carries all the usuals NSR etc but not Thunderslot for the tyres I need. I've found a dealer in Germany who looks promising but trying to translate all the headings is proving time consuming! They seem to stock most things so I'll keep plodding on.

PS. Just found a Firefox extension that automatically translates websites....some time saved and tyres found
