I received a 17.5 motor with the purchase of my b5m lite. I dont have any want to drive in stock class, will never do it. Do you guys think I will be happy putting the 17.5 motor in or just jump to a 8.5-10.5 turn motor? I think I would like the 17.5 to get used to the buggy , but also think I am going to get bored with the lack of speed real quick. I also run a 8.5t 2wd short course truck .
I would go to a 7.5t for 2WD buggy.
