From experience which knex motor provides the best torque under load? My green motor that comes with micro sets is struggling to lift the video camera car up a 6 ft vert lift hill.

You can actually use multiple motors at one time if they are the same type or you can gear that one up so more torque is applied, but it would go slower up the lift.

Pigs are better when green.
