what I ended up picking up is a Orion r8 pro and a Mr8 1750. I seriously hope that works out.

are you topping out on that back straight?

If the track is smaller a 1700 should be perfect I had a 1900 in my 2.0 last winter and it was almost to much. Woulda bought a 1700 for my new 3.0 but I got the tekin indoor motor which is smoother so I decided to stick with the 1900 since its more "manageable" power.. Either way you'll have fun but in all honesty if your track is small your lap times will prolly be better with the 1700 slow is fast
