so when people say, in reference to motors, 17.5 or 13.5....is the 17.5 brushless and the 13.5 is the brushed equivilent? and BTW, the word that you need to describe the event is.......


SCRUMTRULESCENT

17.5 and 13.5 are both brushless motors. The 13.5 is faster than the 17.5, lower the number the faster the motor.

but 17.5 is the legal motor there? or are they both legal? I need to buy one so any reccomendations are appreciated. As soon as i'm done building a few things around here...I have the spare cash

We sell Fantom motors at the shop, they are the trinity d3 motors but have been tested for defects by fantom. Both 13.5 and 17.5 are legal here. I'll let others chime in on what they prefer

The motor your run really depend son the ESC you run. If you run a Tekin RS/RS Pro, then a 17.5 would be plenty for most people. If you run a less advanced ESC like the LRP SPX or LRP Sphere, then a 13.5 would be a better choice.

I was gonna use a velineon VXL3 as the ESC

I would run a 13.5 off of it. I have never tried to run a 13.5 off of that ESC. I don't know how it would work out.

That is a sensorless esc, you will need a sensorless bl motor, I suggest something around 3300kv, that is an indirect equalivalent to a 13.5bl sensored motor.

I just don't want to go too fast. I ran the velineon up there was and the truck was bat guano all over the place. Even on my track, dudes with 17.5's post the same times as dude with 10t BL motors and box stock.

wrong, that ESC has a sensor port

To clarify on a more technical note about the motors. If you are going to run SCT at any other track in GA you will need a 17.5 the 13.5's are not legal at any other track and we are trying to wean people off them and go to the full ROAR spec rules. The 13.5 is what we run in the 2wd buggies and is considered "or was" super stock. The tekin/rs and fantom 17.5 is the combo of choice for about 95% of the SC racers around here.

I guess Traxxas' aux port is the sensor port?!?... I personally wouldn't trust this esc to be realible... got 2 freshly swapped out units in front of me, the originals lasted 2 packs each.
