best motor for a b4?

I am going into the 540 class at my local club. They say a 20t brushed motor is the standard for this class, can do 19t/20t/21t to be legal. Any suggestions as to what is the best motor for performance and lastability please? It has been suggested the HPI saturn 20t is the better one available at the club night from the spares guy. Just wanting to see if there was anything else out there that would be better.

Thanks. I talked to a club committee member yesterday and it seems the club 540 motor rules are a little more strict than I thought. They are limited to either http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hpi-saturn-20t-motor-540-type-/rc-car-products/14095 or http://www.modelsport.co.uk/ansmann-racing-clash-21t-motor/rc-car-products/28316

wow, they are strict, both those motors are cheap for a reason, there tosh!

surely if your allowed 19/20/21 then it should be up to you what brand you want to use.

well, they're making it a fair class and the 2 motors they use, the club spares guy has in stock at every meeting. So in a way I suppose they're keeping it very well even apart from driver skill. They hold 2wd and 4wd Modified classes for more adventurous or skilled drivers :)
