Only consider the GTB2 if you are running 21.5 blinky.
If you want to run 17.5, get the Hobbywing Xerun or Tekin RS speed controls. As for a 17.5 motor, the Speed Passion MMM is pretty good.
Dont get the Justock unless you want to run 0 timing (no boost). This speedie is only good for 21.5.
If you are new to racing, I still suggest you run 21.5 blinky.
To make it easy, here is a list
21.5 (blinky)
ESC
Tekin RS (turn off boost)
Hobbywing XERUN (turn off boost)
Novak GTB2
Hobbywing Justock

LRPX12 21.5
17.5

Tekin RS
Hobbywing XERUN

I have used mine for 12 months in 21.5 blinky & VTA and have never had any problems. It helped me get a podium at Muchmore Masters and second at the NSW state titles. It is easy to set up and runs reasonably cool.
I even used one at the VTA enduro at SMA and it ran flawlessly during several 30 minute stints.

I use the Mamba Max Pro and have never had any issues with it.
