Will it kill my car?

[Crumpet]

Hi guys,

I resurrected my Yokomo MX4, stuck a lipo in it and now have an idea of swapping the 8T brushed motor for something silly.

I wont be racing it (I race GT12) so its purely for giggles.

Will it strip everything putting a 3.5T motor with all the boost it can take?

Secondary question: I've never 100% understood why on the bigger circuits people dont use 3.5T motors. Are they just uncontrollable? Can't you just use less / controlled throttle in the twisties and then you have an insanely fast car for the main straight?

Obviously GT12 is 13.5T blinky so I've not had a chance to experiment.
