Default Pros and Cons

Could someone please explain the pros and cons of a 550 size motor versus a 540 size in a crawler or rock racer like the wraith???

thanks in advance for any info

The longer can and armature of a 550 makes more torque than a shorter 540.

The only downsides to the 550 is that it doesn't fit in some chassis, and it consumes more amps = slightly shorter run times.

I'm not sure why, but open endbell (read: servicable) 550's are not easy to find. I still have a Kyosho Magnetic Mayhem that is ticking.
