If I installed sliver brushes and heavy springs on my P2K Pro. What kind of performance would I get? Like RPM, torque, and acceleration. Would it be worth the money? Wanna kick butt at the track, and in a Hawk 2. http://www.traxxas.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.traxxas.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.traxxas.com/ubb/tongue.gif

:p 75mph in a Hawk 2 is possible :p

it wouldn' give you a mass of performance, but it would probably give you slightly higher RPM's!

like how much higher RPM, 1000 or more. What if I put a 12 turn speed gem armatre in it?

it wouldn't give you much higher RPM, i cannot really state a number, but the armature would give you loads of speed!

If i were you, i wouldn't put another armature in it. Just buy the best motor you can afford. I like to buy a fast motor used, then put it on a comm lathe and cut it. this restores its performance. new brushes might just give you around 500 mor rpm MAX, but do this:
take some really fine (like 800 grit)wet or dry sandpaper, wet it, then rub it evenly against the comm. this takes off debris and helps with performance

A jump too high? NO SUCH THING!!!

it would defently increase the performance but it is a big question of how much though
