Updated characteristics of 5292 motor in motors comparison page

[Philo]

As noticed by DLuders and Allanp, there were many inaccuracies in 5292 Electric RC Race Buggy Motor data. At the time, my testing equipment was insufficient and gave underrated values. The data about it is now updated and fully show its impressive capabilities!

Thanks for your work, Philo!

So if you are using a 9v battery box (one box for each motor) which is better, two slightly geared down xl motors or two heavily geared down buggy motors?

not sure about power, but for practicality I'd choose xl, with buggy motor it would be hard to find space and make up for some of the offset placement, and of course, more gears more friction. edit: all depends on what you're trying to build.

in my mobile crane i used the buggy motor for the boom extension, because it is quite heavy and a lot of gears=more friction and more power needed to move the boom at a reasonable speed

I forgot to mention for use in a truck trial truck!

well, there's already been trucks, like the panther and nxtmonster's chassis. It'll be faster than with xl, I haven't tried it myself, maybe in the future...
