Here's some food for thought. With the recent surge in 25.5T offerings from electric motor manufacturers (Reedy, Tekin, Viper, Trinity, Speed Passion, etc.) you have to ask "why now?". Where were these guys in 2009-2010 when the only company who considered USVTA a practical class was Novak Electronics?

Tekin, Viper, Trinity, Speed Passion, ORION, etc. all have 25.5 motors for years now, only the reedy is new.

Has any performance advantage been noticed with the variance in C rating that is allowed?
Also, same question when using the Boss motor versus regular one? I would think since it has more cooling could be ran geared a little harder?
Depending on if we go to a USVTA specific track, I am wondering what version of the motor to pickup and if going for the highest C rated lipo would be worth while based on peoples real world experiences.

One thing to consider is that with USVTA there is a fairly equal playing field and no buying the "motor of the week". I like that. In fact I would like to see only one motor, esc, and battery allowed, but that's another topic. If they add a ton of motors, esc's, batteries and stuff it will become costly and crazy and stop being fun for everyone but fun for those with big wallets. Not to mention a big PIA for the guys maintaining the rules and approving stuff. If you want variety race 17.5, USGT, or mod. Just sayin'.
