Very short acceleration movie in corner of backyard, topspeed not reached :-)

My newly found hobby took me 24-2-2006 gmt to a great deal, well i guess it is:
Tamiya (great brand) "Mad Fighter", standard with 540 motor, but i dont know the specs.
The package is complete with a great trimmable rc sender, receiver, charging device and  nicd 1500 mah 7,4 pack. All this for 159 euro, including the full ball-bearings package and allready built! I am waiting for it now, to come by mail.

So i have some questions for you RC veterans about the Tamiya mad fighter:

Am i right that the motor that i can put into it, depends from this (bec, sec.. spc?) controller thing?
For what i have read that must be so. If it contains a speed controller that handles 22A  max and 16 turns max. motor, so says the manual, then i can't get any motor that puts  more  power then 22A trough the device, right? But what <16 winded motor ( i did not find them :-( )  has good rpm/power and stays  below 22A? Or am i looking to far in to it? and no matter what motor i use, it only gets the power  the speedcontroller let's him have?

Update, i found and orderd a 540 motor from LRP, The "runner special II"
My TEU-101BK esc can take 23 turns motor and up.

Tamiya vs Nikko
Tha Nikko is 'waterproof, drove it hot in snow and rain, through puddles of water. The inside, and thus the electronics, is 'sealed'. Con: the pinion is crimped on to the motor ax. Could not replace motor, or pinion.... :(
Tamiya: Open, fragile to water, easy to hurt the open electric circuits. Pro: many hop up features.

My old (and slower) RC cars.

Left in photo: the camouflage NIKKO Dominator 4 With a....?...type motor.  The wing i took off myself, this
is more to my taste. (Does a wing on a toy help at all, with r/c speeds?) I hope it is a 540 so i can replace it with some cheap stock 540 model.  Right: The bue, don't know the brand, sticker says 'ranger' 9,6 V off-road, 2 gear high/low selector.

Close up of motor, 540, >10 years old !

The NIKKO was nice when i bought it. Don't know how fast, but not slow.
Very strong acceleration, impressive impact and no harm done architecture, fast.
Now it he's a bit slower, motor is completely worn, must be. Since i allready ordered an  upgrade motor for the Mad Fighter, the mad fighters stock 540 will find a new motor home  in the nikko :-)
Update: different pinions, original pinion of nikko don't come off, wouldn''t fit on my other stock 540 motor ax. :-(

The 'ranger' has a nice high/low gearbox selector, it can run fast (ahum...) or with strong ratio for 'climbing obstacles'
It has a lot of bumper :-) The 9,4 V sounds impressive, but it really isn't, also the 9v remote control is a laughing matter :-) 25 feet range or so.
Could be nice for indoor, but the turning circle, like a real F1, to large! Mis-buy... glad the whole package was just 30 euro's (with battery, rc and charger)
