That's why I won't run 17.5NR, the top guys have a new or different motor and/or battery every month
At the Reedy race most of the top guys in NR where smoking the motors every run
VTA is so awesome because we have one motor!

1. Not true. I run with some top guys and they are not replacing motors/batteries every month.
2. Not true. I was there. Some motors smoked...but that happens everywhere.
3. I agree. The reason I am building a car is to test how good "I" am. With motors being so consistant, it really put pressure on the guy behind the wheel!

yes the team powers guys are sticking with their fast motors, other brand racers are switching...
NR motors do smoke everywhere, I wasnt saying the track caused it, as you said "some motors smoked" that was my point

U can swap,replace or burn motors in every class, not just 17.5, same goes for the batteries.
Last time I checked, usvta rules allow 3 motors, not one.

Never seen one smoke in VTA, I have seen many smoke in 17.5
yes 3 from ONE manu.
My point is in VTA nobody switches motor brands because some guy comes in with motor X and you have motor Y and he spanks you and you go out and buy motor X.
That is Exactly what I see happen in other spec classes all the time

All ROAR 25.5's meet their rules and specs but that does not make them all equal in speed or power. If that was the case then there would never be any motor advancement with in motor companies once they make a ROAR approved motor.
