17.5 Motor
 
Whats the best motor you've seen? I'm running a Ballistic in VTA now, just wasn't sure if there was anything better or should I just get a ballistic 17.5 for this RCGT class
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Donnie

Thanks for the link and info mojoman81. The ballistic has been great but i'm looking for more options of torque and speed differences

Reedy Sonic is another strong performer along with Thunder Power.

Cheers

With the Ion 4 17.5 they give you a choice of rotor between the 12.3mm broad power band or the 12.5mm High torque . They are great motors and are winning in almost every major race . here another thread for you to read .

Team Epic D3.5: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ess-Motor-175T

You can get a number of different rotors for it to get more torque, more RPM, etc. Great motor. I got the torque rotor for mine and it made quite a difference. You can also get them with the torque rotor already in them as the Maxzilla model.

I agree that the D3.5 is thought of as one of the top motors right now, but if you're going with a 3.5 - maybe go with one of the hand tuned and blueprinted versions....
