This is one of the most popular electric motors out there. Its made by a very popular company "Trinity". So what did I think? Well I've had my share of these motors. My neighbor had one, I had 2. I think there very nice for the price. If you buy them make sure you get them from towerhobbies or similar for like $25. Any more and its not worth it. I haven't tried the new "Caliber" motor by trinity but that looks almost better for cheaper! Anyways back to the Speed Gem2. Its nice.
 Its hard to judge rc motors though. I don't have a dyno so it makes it hard. Its better then some out there but not as reliable as my Kyosho Endoplasm 16x2. I like the speed gem and think its nice. But there is always something better. I haven't had any problems on my Speed Gem 2's so go for it.
According to RCCA a better motor to get for the same price is the PEAK PERFORMANCE THUNDERBOLT. It looks good to me but I haven't had experience on it. I would try the trinity caliber motor first, if its not good its only $20 so its not a big deal, plus it has presoildered bullet connectors and capacitors.
It's popular and has proven performance!
I give it a 8.8
out of 10 being the best
