might have a rookie question. Just picked up a b4 yesterday, never had a 1/10 buggy dont know anything about them lol. Were starting a indoor class this winter with them,so i figured i would get one because that's were everyone is going! So my question is motor. What is to much? I took my 17.5 novak out of my sc10 and put in it,but i havent ran it at a track just up the street last night, I didnt know if that would be too slow or decent. I have a castle system too but im sure that would be too fast! Any imput would be appreciated!

Running on the street looks slow compared to the track. When you get into the confines of a track, things look a lot different. A 17.5 is a good place to start with a buggy. They are very nimble and light compared to other classes. I ran a 13.5 with a boosted ESC for quite a while and have since moved up to a 10.5 which I think is the limit. Anything above that is for the pros, IMO. I don't know of anyone that runs anything bigger than that at our track and most run the 13.5.

I would look at the class's they are running. If its Mod 2wd buggy then the 17.5 will be to slow. A 13.5 or 10.5 are good choices for mod.

In most cases if the person behind the wheel is a good driver the 13.5 would b pretty good depending on how big the track is that is....the 10.5 is a very good all-around motor
If u r running turbo the 13.5 is a rocket...7.5 and smaller turns r fun but not the greatest choice
