I found out the RPM rating of the Intimidator is 50k, the same as the Eagle, and little more than the Hawk-7 Screamer (yet has more noticeable torque than the Hawk, but is Not as hard to ‘feather’ as the Phoenix for GTP.) The Intimidator is becoming the default closed-can motor for the LMP and NASCAR Classes.
The 60k Phoenix could remain a favorite for the GTP and GP-F where 3/4 of the track you can go Full-throttle. But – the Phoenix is temperamental in that it takes a lot of sensitivity for the motor to turn-over, and at that ‘breaking point’ -at the start/re-start, or out of a corner- it can easily wheelie the car into a de-slot.
