Motors for Gravity Cars

Hey. As somebody who goes the extra mile to help our hobby, I thought you should know that Dan from Viper has proceeded with his Mega-G+ motor (I have seen it) and is looking for a commitment of 500 units from the HO community to put the thing into production. This will be a fast, reliable motor from a trustable source. Could you pass the word on to the gravity community and others? I have already told Dan I am up half that number at least.

You could put me down for ten of these as well. Closed can HO motors are easy enough to find and are usually cheap as well, especially if you order them directly from China. The hitch is that you can't be sure what you will be getting, so you have to buy some and try them out. If you like the motors you may not be able to order more of them.
A reliable source for these motors would make life easier for a number of people.

Any links for just what is going on here?
Who is Dan from Viper? Ok, I found Viper. Look! Narrow rear rims! Hmmm

There is an e-mail address and phone number on the Viper Scale Racing site. Scroll down to the bottom of the home page.

Do you happen to know if the motor will play best with a 120 ohm like the original motor or will it be more in line with the other cars in the 45 ohm range?

If you can share a link to the Facebook post, we can like it and comment.

Someone that has checked with VSR has reported that this motor has been put on the shelf. I am not certain if it was intended to be an exact replacement for the one in a Mega G+ or a higher performance motor.
