Personally, I dont like to use none segmented motors in racing.
A segmented motor like a Neu or LMT 19 series would take the heat of a flaming race.

The motor inmho, is not prepared to fully operate in a perfect condition in a nitro car even if it was a 1/10 scale machine, but if you want to make it do its job, a highend motor with a high turn winding is very good actually. Consider a motor with a 2700-3700 rpm at 14-15 volts for good speed and temp.

You can go for a Kontronik Twist-33 or Twist-37 motor. They incorporate segmented rotors, built in heatsink and nicely priced.( between 140-160 dollars). They're 480 size motors, but will perform way better than the Mamba Max motors.
