Does anyone have experience with the ProSlot 4002-12 motors?  I'm wondering how these compare with the standard C can 12's.   We run an any chassis, any body (no wing cars!), any x-12 motor class race.  I've recently tried out the 4002 series motor in retro with the Big Dog arm.  These seem to be a good, reliable and strong motor.  I'm just wondering if these mini can motors in x-12 can be competitive for king track racing?  I thought it might be interesting to see how the mini motor could positively effect handling if it didn't give up too much on the straight.

While the 4002-12 is narrower, width wise, and shorter, length wise, it's not any lower, height wise, than any C can motor, and not much, if any lighter, than a top notch X12 motor.
