Motor question?

Well, I might get an longer drive shaft, so I'm thinking aboutwhat kind of motor to buy. I'm thinking either a stage 11 from xmodworld or a MRS4 motor. Which one is better? I need a little more torque than what a stage 2 gives me, b/c I'm horrible off the line.

I'd recommend getting the MRS4 motor (that is, if you're referring to the Micro RS4 Team Orion Elite Stock motor), and taking about 10-15 winds off each leg in the armature, rather than getting the motor that needs 5-6 cells to reach it's "full potential".

I'm not taking the motor apart. I also plan on getting the regulator mod, and then popping in 18 volts, or maybe 27. What is the frying point on these motors?

18v alone will have you looking for some damned good carbon brushes and new ways to cool the motor so the brushes and comms don't melt.

So I need a Ram Air intake and a cooling fan? So the RS4 motor won't handle it?

Everything I've read on people running 4 Li Ions @16+volts leads me to believe the 180 motors can't handle the voltage as well as the 130s with good carbon brushes...
