Also how about 17.5 non timing motors or motors have to be set to 0 timing with blinky ESC? I would think more people would already have a 17.5 than have to go out and buy another motor.
You can use a wider hex, spacers, offset rims, or just run with a wider body.
The name of the 17.5 class was RCGT and it was sponsored by HPI. Very similar to USGT but running 17.5 motors on HPI X-pattern tires. Tire wear was a serious issue and speedwise the class wasn't much different from stock touring 17.5. The class has mostly died out for those reasons while USGT is picking up. If you want to race 17.5, then the 17.5 stock touring class would be a better choice for you than USGT.
