Default Best 17.5t under $100?

I am looking for a new 17.5t for the PNB. What is the best 17.5t motor under $100 - fast and reliable. Murfdogg, Tekin, Epic, Icon?

I will be running it with a Tekin RS. Thx.

I wouldn't buy any motor thats at the $100 mark. The D3 is hands down the best motor out there right now. Runs cooler and produces more torque than the other popular brands. Thats what I will be running there and is the only motor we stock at TT.

I've had the ion3 in my SC10 for three races and am pretty pleased with it. The new years eve race I ran it for 16 in the main and it came off at 140.

Don't you think this is a little biased since this is the only thing you sell?

I sell SP motors as well and have them in my SC and 2wd. The D3 based motor is a torque based motor and suits the heavy SC's much better and with the new windings and rotor they run much cooler too. Dont care where you get it from it's still the fastest offroad motor out there right now.
