Ok, this 280 is panning out to be worth using in the long run. And with racing starting up at my LHS, I'm not gonna run it longer than tomorrow's race.
So far I know 2 places to buy a Speed 300 motor. Hobby-Lobby and Electric Jet Factory.
I know 2 people who bought a motor from each place. One got the Speed 300 6V from Electric Jet Factory. He hasn't broken much on his micro, but says its pretty fast (with 4-cells). The other guy got his from Hobby Lobby and has melted gears, stripped gears, etc and he's running 4-cells also.
Here are pics of each one:
Electric Jet Factory:
(This is the picture they show on the page for the 300. The 300 they sell should look very similar to this though.)

Hobby-Lobby:
(The 300 from here DOES look like this...confirmed from the guy who bought his from Hobby-Lobby.)

What I need to know is this:
If you have either of these motors, and what you have broken from using it (or how well does it perform....same idea).
