I find the LRP TC Spec has a smoother throttle feel than the GTB throughout the entire range. I'm not sure if you've run the new one X, but LRP got it really right this time around.
The GTB is great too, and in its defense, a few years old now. I'm sure Novak isn't standing idly by, and probably has an answer to it in the works.

losi, our club passed a rule to put 13.5t in with 27t brushed in the Stock class. After six months of racing like that, and a big regional race that had a 13.5t class for the first time, there was tons of evidence that 13.5t is significantly faster than 27t, and in fact as fast as a pretty good 19t. So, a few weeks ago we moved 13.5t into our 19t class. Races have been incredibly fair since. It's also a good combination, because now if a guy wants to put lots of effort into his 19t brushed, he can have an advantage over a guy that does no work with a 13.5t.

I race offroad with my Mamba system and have no problems with it at all. It has always worked flawlessly from day one and even in my touring car with the Orion 13.5 only has a small stutter but that will be changing really soon.
I find the Mamba Max to be relaible and never ever thermals and I figure you can't win any races if my stuff thermals all the time. Last weekend 3 guys thermaled out of the 13 mod buggies they had.

The 13.5 will be the new stock motor even though its faster then a 27T. Even if you wanted to run 15.5, 17.5 or 21.5 BL most cars today do not have enough room in them to hit the rear ratios you would need. Some barely can accomodate 13.5 gear ratios.

27t and a good NiMH pack. It seems that the Lipo is not as fast as a NiMh with a stock motor and the 13.5 makes them about the same.
I think the easy to run Lipo and easy to run 13.5 gives up a little to a guy that wants to work on motors and battery.
At the same track the 10.5 and Lipo is not as fast as a 19t and NiMh.
When you guys say the 13.5 is faster than a 27t are they both using the same type batteries? In 12th scale with the same type battery the 13.5 is way faster.

Anybody saying a 13.5 is as fast as a 19T needs to fire their motor builder. Even the 10.5 is slower than a good 19T. I think a 9.5 would probably be a better fit in 19T than 10.5.
