Well after 4 motors I'm sending the car tonight. You will have it on Thursday. The stock motor was bad ass. I mean it ripped a 1.00.01 2.85 fast lap in 20 laps time on my oval. Now this is hauling the mail. My Pioneer 18K stock Mustang turned 1.06.39 fast lap 2.41. Then the gremlins attacked it. Car slowed to 1.34.02. So I hunted for some Carerra motors. Found 2 and 1 Hawk. The Hawk while turning 20K on the tack could not get the car faster than 1.45.05. What's up with that. So in goes a Carerra 1.26.04 bit good. Last chance 1.02.04 getting there but it averaged about a 1.04.26. So the other motors are way off of the pace of the motor that came in the car. Tried an alcohol bath to bring it back to life. No luck. You could hear it speed up and slow down. So hopefully I will not be at the bottom of the pack. Just wish the motor that came in the car could have made it past testing.

Ouch! that's terrible news Austin. Hope you can get things sorted soon and back to a dry basement.
I am familiar with that problem and I lost my mind till I got it repaired.

Just getting over the same thing here. Cost me $16k to get it fixed, but now i am safe after 2 floods. 85 feet of trenching right to the foundation and all new drainage pipe.
Just got the dungeon back in order yesterday so the Can Am proxy will be going off very very soon now.
Good luck
