Motors - Hmm

Lost in a confusion of 12T, 20T, 8T etc etc etc...

I have a traxxas rustler, still with the stock 12T Titan motor. I've rebuilt it (transmission coming shortly) completely with FLM Aluminum... and now can barely get it to crawl around the yard. I figured the extra weight would cut down on speed but I didn't expect it to be THAT bad.

I'm usually pretty good at reading things and understanding them but looking over various motors has confused me senseless.

I want torque... to climb. I want speed to race/jump etc... Do I want to go with a lower T engine, or larger? I cannot afford to go brushless so I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has upgraded to aluminum and found a good quick but strong enough to climb motor...

I have to keep up with a Duratrax Evader to save face... :027:

I have tried both pinion gears that came with the traxxas rustler, 19 tooth and 28 tooth (I think) neither offer any speed.

I have 6 cell battery packs, 4 1900mah, 4 3000mah...
