I want to perform the High speed Motor mod. Should I go with the $3.50 DCM-231, 550 sized motor or the Robot Marketplace 700 series HTI for about the same price?

The choice here depends on the application. On pavement, the DCM-231 will be nearly twice as fast as the HTI motor. Off road, over rough terrain or snow, with a rubber tire conversion, the HTI motor would be the better choice, due to its superior torque and low end grunt.
