Unhappy Advice needed

Hi I am making a carpet short course competition set up for my rc car and was wondering what motor would be the best for a course about 50x50 ft with about 9 turns and 3 short ramp jumps about 6 inches and one straight section. I have both brushed motors a traxxas Titan 12 turn and a super 17 thunder tiger I'm using a 17 tooth pinion gear and a 70 tooth spur gear. I removed all of the metal internals I could to replace with plastic for weight reduction as its a shorter race and I was generally looking for acceleration. I'd love any advice you can give me I just got on the scene a week and a half ago thanks.

You should ask the local guys at your track to get an idea what motor would work best. But the correct tires is about 90% of the equation.

No need, as I've already moved this one to the Off Road forum....
