A 17.5 motor will average around 2200kv. Watching one run last weekend against a field of regular motors really drove the point home that this is what we need to look at for our races. Remember when driving a mini didn't require the kind of reflexes required to drive a modified/boosted 12th scale? That's what we're after.

Hmmm I ran my HW with default 15º timing side by side with a Novak Havok 17.5T and it was on par. Maybe I have a dud HW
. Oh well nevermind then. Good luck with your choices. Makes sure the motor endbell timing is the same, preferably 0º for everyone.
