you can get motors pretty cheap through www.hobby-lobby.com too. Just to to the brushed motor section under 400 size and get either the speed 400 4.8 race or the 4.8 rocket motor.

yup. the 6v will be close to stock but the 4.8 version will give you a huge difference. I am waiting on mine still so I can compare the 2 side x side

here is the motors page - under e-flight accessories then brushed motors:

and here is the actual page:

The one I am currently running is at the bottom called the rocket.

I forgot to mention that you can adjust the timing on the rocket very easily too. It helps a little and is a quick job.
