As MetalMan said, I ran a Feigao 6s for quite a while - infact I have two of them. Thing is, they're very good and powerful, if you have the right gearing for them, and you have very good batteries. As others have said it has to pull a lot of amps to generate its power, and this often brings the voltage of the battery that low that you'd get more power from a motor that can pull less amps. Having said this, when my 8 cell batteries were still matched and fairly new they gave my T2 and T3 great power with this motor (using a Mtroniks Pro controller), rolling wheelies at 20mph were easy, top speed was quite nice, 40-50mph depending on gearing and how much the tyres balooned. But my batteries have faded over the months, and I've credited one of my 6s motors with killing 2 of my batteries because the silly amount of amps it can pull.

At the end of the day if you plan on spending big money on your batteries as well, the 6s can be a sweet little motor, with the right gearing (too low and acceleration actually gets worse, too high and it'll overheat pretty quick and thermal your controller as well). But my personal recommendation would be a Feigao 380C-6L, these little motors pack a big punch, and that motor on 6-9 cells I reckon would actually be faster than a big heavy 6s. I have a 380-8t running in my RC10T right now with Masher 2000 tyres, and on just 6 cells it was pulling enough speed to clear tripples and quad's down my local BMX track. Don't underestimate them :)

Check your PM box..I don't really like linking to other shops on Mikes boards, but alas he doesn't stock Mtroniks.
