Most people use 6.5 upwards depends on driver ability track size etc i use a 7.5 speed passion plenty fast enough for me.Don't think theres any particular brand to stay away from there all decent motors Tekin,Speed Passion,LRP,HPI,Nosram the list goes on ...

DO THE MOTORS GET FASTER THE MORE TURNS YOU GET ?

The less turns you get the faster the motor. For a 2wd the fastest wind you will need is a 6.5t the slowest would be an 8.5t.

That's not even close to being true.
I consider myself a reasonable driver and I run a 10.5 in 4WD indoors. The motor required is totally dependant on where it will be run.

It would be nice to get some more information like how long have you raced and what car is it going in and what size track will you be running on. Just picking motor sizing out fresh air won't really help you and also having the fastest car on track won't make you the best either.

Sorry mate - "In my opinion" but yes you are correct, I have run a 10.5 with a "little" boost.

P.S - he did ask for a fast motor

They get faster the less turns you have...

...but it depends on what your using it for.

If you doing any sort of club racing or any other sort of serious racing, then you really don't want anything 'fast' as such in a 2wd. I use a Novak Ballistic 8.5t in my 2wd at nationals and it's in no way slow! It's easily fast enough if geared correctly whilst still being controllable and consistent during a race.

In a 2wd a FAST motor can just be pointlessly difficult to drive, and will only make you crash faster and harder...unless you don't mind that and are just bashing and going for all out speed anyway, in which case it doesn't matter...just don't then take it to a club and expect to be competitive lol!!!

And if you relatively new to RC, then even better to stick to something a little slower again until you have a handle on controlling it better. I ran a 10.5t motor when I started club racing, and once I could get around as quickly as the motor would allow and consistently without crashing badly for the 5 mins, only then did I go up to a faster motor.

Anyway...Enjoy
