*Occasionally* the Victors and Vantecs come up for sale on Ebay. That's where I got mine. I have an active search on Ebay that notifies me when they come up for sale: "Vantec RDFR*" and "Victor 88*". Those are the search terms I use. I got two Victor 883s for about $150 shipped and my Vantec RDFR38D was also right around $100. But like I said, they don't come up often on Ebay. When they do, I buy them. I'm using (and a lot of other guys) the Unite geared motors like these: http://tncscooters.com/product.php?sku=106118 or these: http://tncscooters.com/product.php?sku=106115. Both are great motors. I have two sets of the first type and a set of the second type. Both types work great. You have to keep in mind that an ISU-152 (also called a JSU-152) is a large vehicle in 1/6th scale. It's larger than my 1/6th scale Sturmtiger.
