Sorry to not have an answer but I'm interested too. I have the Element by Castle combo in a XXX-T CR which is a 3900kv 4 pole motor. I want to start racing and I figure I should start in the stock 17.5t class...but the more I read the more I think it is going to be WICKED slow compared to the motor I have now.
