If you want a Ballistic 17.5 get the Shuur Speed. Hands down the best 17.5 out right now.

Schuur Speed. Hands down. I have had experience with just about every other one of top motors out and it would be no doubt number one.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! The Schurr is in my A-Main wish list atm

What about older motors like Duo 1's and 2's? I've seen a couple in the BST section for cheap. It's for a local winter race series so I don't want to shell out a whole lot unless I really have to

Thanks for all the kind words regarding the SchuurSpeed 17.5 motor.

We've been doing quite well with it!

Any questions please ask.
