Drag Racing Motors:
The drag motor requires a strong, but not overpowering bottom end torque, but a HUGE! Mid-range, the Dragster motor is operating most of the time within the middle RPM range of the motor and does not need to have the high top end RPM performance of a road race car. This is because the dragster is at top end for a very short time, and spends most of the time getting off the line and up to 60ft speeds.
The important attributes to consider on a drag motor are:
* Mid Range horsepower
* Low rotating mass (small arm. Diameter)
* High gauss reading magnets, especially at the tips.
* Light weight
This applies to the larger 1/24th scale motors and it works for me in the HO scale. (Thanks You Slick 7)
