Other than adjustable timing can one 17.5T motor be faster than another?
Why is this one so cheap compared to other stock 17.5T motors without adjustable timing?
I run this motor and feel its alittle slow compared to alot of guys I race with, even with boost set to max on my RSpro.
I'm running a FDR of 4.93 and getting temps around 140F after 5 min runs.
Using a turnigy 2s battery 5000mah at 30-40C.
Any suggestions on a quality 17.5T motor...with timing?
I know driving has most to do with lap times, but I'm interested in knowing how to judge a good 17.5T motor, for mod racing of course

My favorite is the Duo 3 with a Tekin RS. If you can, get a hi-torque rotor for it.
The "Ultra Sportsman" are...... well.... they move the car
