spot on, if you can get round with a silvercan / kit motor without crashing, then go for the faster motor later.. i've lost count of the amount of people who just keep getting faster motors in the hope it will make them get better laptimes, yet the fact is they could get better laps if they didn't crash or learned the basic principles of car control - more powerful motor = more crashes.
Likewise, we have a guy at our club racing a mardave with an Ansmann clash 21 motor & cells.. he pootles round at a snails pace with really slow laptimes, but come the end of the season he is always picking up a trophy because he never crashes & ends up beating all the other guys who are running brushless motors & lipo power, purely because he just keeps going round without having marshals chasing his car as he never stuffs it.
