3.0 motors?

I was wondering if they have good speed.My ms truck needs a new motor.Or if you know where I could get a new motor please give me a link.
You talking about the Tomy Bit Racer "Lucifer Rotor" 3.0? It's decent, has decent top speed. Kinda weak in the power delivery, but a FET modded car really wakes these motors up.
While I guess at one time this was the fastest thing out there, it's kinda slow by today's standards. TinyRC.com sells the Bit Char-G Motors, pink endbell 3.8 in their shop, they also have their R-Spec, which has similar RPMs, but more mid-band power. It's still a dog off the line though. You'll either need to run 12:1 gears, or a FET modded car with either of these motors..
For a stock, non-FET modded car, I'd reccomend the Perfection 3.8 or 4.2 Pro from toyeast.com, they are cheap, but the shipping from China will get you, and since quality can be a crap shoot, I'd reccomend getting several, to increase your chances of getting a few good ones.
Also the Bit Char-G motors, and Perfection 3.0s are about on track, if not a tad stronger than the Bit Racer 3.0. I should also add that alot of clones, such as Biglot's MicroSpeed cars come with motors that are about on track with a 3.0.
