if i put 2 trinity speed gem pro cryptonite 9t double motors in a tamiya wild dagger would it still have some power or would it be all speed? which would u go with? trinity speed gem pro cryptonite 9t double motors or the new monster horsepower stock pros?

At 9 turns, the truck will have tons of RPM, and with the Dagger's limited gearing, I'm almost sure you won't be able to gear low enough to get acceptable power. With 9 turns you'll also go through brushes like J-Lo goes through husbands. For a truck, use something 17 turns or above.

I believe you need a reverse-rotation motor for one end of the Wild Dagger. If you do, get a machine-wound modified that you can adjust the timing on: Rotate the endbell 180 degrees and you're all set. Trinity, Orion, and Peak offer motors like that. Kyosho's Magnetic Mayhems are available in reverse rotation.

so my best bet isnt the 9 turn? which motor do u think would give me good speed but still have power to shoot rooster tails everywhere

Go for a Trinity Speed Gems over 17 turns.

will a 17 turn or higher speed gem still give me good rpms? more that the monster stock pro?thanks for all the help:)

Your truck should be plenty fast with anything from a 17 turn to a stock motor. Don't forget that it's a truck, with big heavy tires that need lots of torque to get it going. A high top speed is no fun if it takes the truck forever to get there, and you give up less in top speed using a milder motor than you give up in acceleration, run time, and maintenance with a hotter motor.

Exactly what stevek said.... i would go with chameleon 19t.
