I have $90 to spend does anyone have any suggestiones? unless there is a good motor thats worth $90 and more please tell me! And a good one to please!!!

Yes.
You can change the spur to get more top speed.
Find out what you have on there now, and we can take it from there.
Just a FYI, when you increase the top speed by changing the gears, you will lose a little something on the low end.

well, i have a 66tooth spur gear wat gear can i get to have more speed...
and what does "low end" mean

Low End = Slower acceleration & More speed (think Daytona 500 vs Bristol)

What engine do you have in there now? The 66T spur is the stocker for TA.

This will add some speed as well: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXPZ88&P=Z

 

[vbgagnon]

low end = power at low rpm
high end = power at high rpm


clutch bell = gear on engine
smaller clutch bell = faster take off and lower top speed
larger clutchbell = slower take off and higher speeds

spur gear = large gear that is driven by clutch bell
smaller clutchbell = slower take off and higher speeds
larger clutchbell = faster take off and lower top speed

Changing the clutch bell is more of a dramatic change then changing your spur gear.

but thats only one tooth down are you sure that gives more speed?
