Yo - Jet, if your looking for fast try out poly or even neo mags and a hotter arm. Be carefull though, their not called "hot" for nothing. Melt-downs do occure (some can be pretty cool).

What tends to happen a lot when people go to a hotter arm/magnets is the stock brush springs glow red-hot due to the extra current flow it deforms and loses it's tension. When this happens, you end up with an effect like a spot welder at the contact point between the brushes and the commutator. A good way to fix this is either use high temp brush springs and/or use shunt wires to bypass the brush springs. This type of setup is only recommanded for short bursts as in drag racing with armature wounded with thick gauge wire. Another good fix for this delima is to use the old-school non-magnatraction Aurora pan chassis that don't have coil brush springs, the type that uses brushes with the V-grooves that are suspended by leaf springs.
