Bit of feedback,

I've got 4 of your BL Ion series motors now, i dont even consider anyone else's motor when i want something new, I first gave your 6.5ION motor a go in my T4 truck, and its served me well, great on power and control and helps me TQ 95% of club racers and normally win the main. Ive got 2 other 6.5's (LRP and a Hacker) and the Fantom is by far my favorite.. which started the ball rolling with my next 3 motors ive brought since then.

Just recently jumping into stock with your 17.5ION of which ive brought locally from a hobby shop that im not sponsored by, willing to pay full sticker price to run these over top end brands i can get my hands on much cheaper. Im having a blast in stock truck, so much fun and ive TQ'd all 3 club racers this year that ive run in stock with another fantom 17.5 in 2nd followed by brushed motors 3-4-5 in other brands.

Just wish you did a 1/8 motor for my BL RC8T

cheers Keri.

Despite my earlier queries re sponsorship, I will attest that the BL motors are the real deal, the Fantom 10.5 I have been running is quicker than anything else, runs cooler and allows me more freedom in gearing. Granted with car set up issues I haven't been able to translate it to wins as yet, but geared at 5.4 on a long straight, most people need to gear up to 4.5 to match me, and they have their motors coming off red hot, mine is still uber cool!

The 17.5s are great! I agree on the gearing. I've been playing with the gearing and I'm able to go 3-5 teeth different on certain tracks and no heat issues.
