I've been running the SpeedPassion 17.5 (mmm and Comp v3 ) recently. Both versions are great for 2wd. In 4WD it required me to play with the gearing a little to get a good balance of power and temp. For the price, the speed Passions are great motors. (their new 17.5 motor will be out 'soon', so they can be had quite cheaply at the moment ).
Which buggy are you planning on running?
Hi Reflexia,
I have a b4.2 FT, I definitely gave it hard time today and it didn't miss a beat, I am very happy with its durability.
Thanks for the info, I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for a speed passion combo.
