meets performance figures
Saw quite a noticeable difference in performance between this and the stock can motor. Definitely worth purchasing, (just make sure you buy a set of ball bearings for the drive train as the stock plastic ones can get worn quite quickly)

Substantial improvement
I swapped this into my Lunchbox and took it out for a drive today. I had to completely adjust my style as the increase in speed made it much more likely to roll and flip compared to the standard silver can. A substantial improvement in performance for a very low cost.

Well worth the wait!
Dug the old RC car out the parents loft which still had the stock motor and battery inside it. Purchased a new battery and seen this motor listed on the upsel Amazon page. Battery came and I relived the boyhood RC car moment again, all good. Then I though I'd try this for £13. It took a while to come (around 3 weeks) and I swaped it out for stock motor. It was a straight foward replacement as I had a little trouble with it as the pin is a little shorter than my stock motor. To get around this I put my pinion on the other way around and use a few washers to align the motor with the clutch wheel, which was nice to get the old computer hands dirty a bit.Fired it up and it now shoots like a rocket. I'd say 30-40% faster! My car even struggles to turn at speed it goes that quick. For £13 its worth the wait and the fiddling about to get it on.

good motor from trusted brand
Slotted in place after purchasing a pinion and it just worked. It is much quicker than the silver motor that my grasshopper came with, the take off speed is around the same but top end has improved alot.

Fitted on a Grasshopper, from good to Insane
Fitted on a Tamiya Grasshopper reissue (with ball bearing upgrade), this dramatically changed the car!Speed has gone from good to insane (for this car), as a result you cannot be full throttle anymore, the car would very easily roll over when turning if there's a bump on the road.I had the original Grasshopper when I was a kid, with a standard 540 motors, I don't remember the car going that fast and being so prone to rolling over.I'm working on improving the suspensions to help it cope with the new power, but this is great fun!Only downside is the car now requires some proper driving skills, not fit for my <10 years old kids anymore.
