We can turn the coin on this as well...
"Why buy a 21.5 when EVERYONE already has a 17.5 and doesn't want to buy a boosted esc?" The cost of a 21.5(average $85), woudln't the better value be the Cirtix Spec System(motor/esc) for $79.99(Speedtech Price)?
New 21.5motor=$85
New Cirtix 17.5 Motor AND ESC=$79.99
I think Cirtix is still CHEAPER.
Just playing devil's advocate.

Some people do not want to spend high dollars on high end speedos to be competitive.
This system has allowed me and my son who is 10 to enjoy this sport and be competitive.
I guess you dont get the big picture here.

So how do you draw new people into the sport???????? 17.5 open TC is not a beginners area.

Sorry i see this kit doing alot of good things for the TC class.
Like i said without this kit and class i would have never let my son
out on the track. This has brought him alot of enjoyment and he is
learning and developing better driving skills every time out.

Exactly, this combo from Speed Passion is not for the "pro" type guys who want all-out performance no matter the cost; let them buy the expensive Novak, LRP, Reedy etc stuff and have at it. That's fine for them, I'm cool with that. But the Cirtix Stock club combo is for the average "Joe" and his kids and anyone else who is fed up with the ever upward spiral of electronics pricing in rc racing. Also, the average club racer doesn't want or need the multi-programmable, multi-adjustable timing esc's and motors that the "pro" type racers want; the average guy wants an affordable esc/motor combo for around $70-80 that is simple and easy to set up and use, so that they can have good performance and above all, have fun! What they want is the Cirtix Stock Club!
When brushless first started getting popular in rc cars it was touted as being a better performing product than a brushed motor and the biggest benefit was they didn't require as much maintenance and you didn't need to worry about comm cutting and adjustable timing and special rebuilds, etc. They were to be simpler to use and race. Now we see that once again the whole concept has been scewed back towards the constant fiddiling with the motors and adjustable timing and special rebuilds , programmable esc's , etc, etc, etc,; and once again the average guy who just wants to club race and have some fun is left scratching his head and wondering what went wrong! The next thing you know he gives up and leaves the hobby because he has been priced out and techno'd out because the whole thing has become so complex. That's where the Cirtix Stock Club combo comes to the rescue by making it simple and affordable and just plain fun! For those who want the all-out techno whatsit esc and motors Speed Passion makes those as well. This way everyone is happy and it's a win, win situation!
Hopefully in the future Novak and all the others will wake up and smell the coffee and get on board with this. The fact that the Cirtix are selling out everywhere speaks volumes about just how popular this whole concept is, and quite frankly the "average" person who races rc far outnumber the "pro" types in this hobby/sport! A smart company would cater to that and sell a ton of product!

locally, I tried to make the point that turning off the timing or running a spec esc, is meaningess unless you spec the motor too, the cirtix motor has zero timing, the ballistic, 30, the lrp 45, the whatever 55, (those numbers aren't exact, just used as an example) some have figured this out and are taking advantage of it.
FYI....The cirtix motor does have adjustable timing. Loosen the three screws on the back plate and rotate the plate counter clockwise to advance the sensors and thus advancing the timing. So dont think that you cant advance the timing of the motor its not a locked timing motor just because there are no marks on the can. I have been running this motor in our parking lot RCGT series and its performs great....couldnt be happier with it. I want to try this "cheap" motor in with an open ESC and see how it performs.....

the devil you say, I'll have to have a closer look, it looks like a sealed can to me, I just thought the three screws held the senor in place

Yeah Im not sure why people think its a zero timing motor. The motor and ESC are really marketed as a "spec" or Hand out type of thing where the price is right its affordable for all. No where on the website does it say Zero Timing....or fixed timing for the motor.
This is right off the website.....
New from Speed Passion, the Cirtix “Stock Club Race” ESC and motor

I have heard of this and i have also heard that some of the series holders out here in So-Cal will be using some type of rpm gauge to check spec of the motors.
Leave it to some idiot to not play fair.
This is what drives people away is someone looking for the edge instead of learning to drive and setup the car better.
