yeah honestly all hudy and xray stuff is second to none. i dont use any aftermarket things on my cars just xray/hudy option parts.
as for the 13.5 that will be fine but then you have to race in the mod class and will just get beat. id still recommend getting a good 17.5t motor to be quite honest.
and yes sometimes emulsion shocks can be a pain when you're used to bladder-type. what i do is use one of those shock pumps and i pump the air out of the oil. so no bubbles are there. and i bleed the shocks twice as to have no rebound/suck (at least until air is pushed in from use).

I am gonna go with a 17.5T motor.. now to see if a stock HW motor will do for a while. High end stock motors are $150 and not in my budget. Any suggestions on a motor?

not only are they fast with adequate power band, but they perform well, stay cool, and last a long time. they're one of the best stock motors for sure. a Trinity D4 is also a good inexpensive option - but i think i would still go reedy.
if money wasn't a concern i personally would run the Fantom with all the option parts but that costs like $170

Rather spend $100 for basic Fantom then $90 for basic reedy. I have both. No comparison.
I also have the now "older" type M and the new v2 motor. For the price right now I would get the M as it's on sale if on a budget. After signing up for their mailing list, you will get about 10 percent off. It will be $118 Shipped i believe. That comes with everything but the aluminum parts. Still get the "ultra select" rotor" ceramic bearings etc. Plus they set timing for you. That cant be beat.

I will also say the Maclan 17.5 is quite impressive for the money ($89.00) on amain. I have ran that motor last year and my son still runs it in a 22 3.0, its darn impressive and nicely made.

I will 3rd that, Fantom is a great motor, I run the v2t fr-1 17.5 also, the midrange power in mine is super.

Got the xr10 pro and went with a SCHUUR SPEED SPEED Extreme stock spec V3 17.5
I was in a hurry and got a great deal at my local track, along with free track time. The motor is the best best they had on the shelf. It's hand built, dyno tested, etc. They also had a standard boxed version. Hopefully this blueprinted version was worth the extra $50 bucks, if not, the free track time more than made up for it. They had a standard and short stack version. I got the less torque, faster version. Probably would of gone torque version on a 4wd. The label shows it comes with 50 degrees of timing, the other version had like 39 or so. Still a big learning curve from my brushed rc10 days...lol.
Thanks for all the advice, guys!

Almost forgot, what pinion gear should I be looking at? I'll sit down later and look at the book..
The local track had a wall full of gears, mostly tlr and some other smaller names.

- but the schurrspeed stock motors are better for sure.As for gearing I would start with 32/69

Mustang - definitely get the 69t spur gear as it sets the motor rearward for traction, is lighter, and gives you more top speed with the option to still gear low enough if needed.

that's extremely low gearing - i would say that 29/72 is not what most people run more like 34/72 maybe. but i see mostly 32/69 on our cars at medium sized tracks.
