Motor Speed Passion Club Cirtix 17.5 Motor Timing factory Gear 32/70 but will be trying out a 34/70 FDR Track size Large battery: 25c Gens ace 4800 saddle *notes, this is a $90 speed control/motor combo and works really well. I think I can eek out a little more power if I move up to a better 17.5t motor like a D3. Also a better battery may also provide more punch too. However it's been really good and smooth on power where I can focus on driving and running clean lines. |
