I cant seem to find any info on the specs of minisprint motors, this one pictured is running methanol but apart from that i have no idea.
Anyone have any idea what kind off power these make etc?

Ministocks have to be stock. I think with minisprints, it's anything goes so long as it's still N/A.
I've heard stories over in oz about guys pouring scary amounts of money into them.
