A machine wound Holmes or Br00d would be nice. You will likely need to run a smaller pinion gear to get wheel torque back.
The machine wounds are cheaper than the hand wound.

Tekin makes a great motor that I have used with zero issues. But as the previous poster said make sure to gear accordingly.

I'm running an Integy 35t motor in mine.
It's not the greatest, but it is a definite improvement from the stock motor, and it's relatively cheap.

If you're going from a 55T to a 35T then you would want to use a SMALLER pinion gear to maintain the same wheelspeed since the 35T spools up to a higher rpm than the 55T (less torque, more rpm).

You are correct, my bad.
Edited my post.

Going cheap, the machine wound will be the best bet. I have a few Sport motors left, which is just a cheap rebuildable motor. I also have some new Expert motors (http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...&cat=17&page=1) that feature the same specs as our Pro motors, but are machine wound for a lower price point. Great drag, rebuildable design, easier on the wallet, and much higher quality than other machine wounds on the market.

Flat rate priority shipping from the US to the UK is about $15 last I checked. It would take about two weeks to get there and through customs, although I have heard of 6 week customs times.
