Just got my new 17.5 g3 tested in the track over the weekend. I was very impressed, and so was another fellow runing 17.5 stock buggy. We both runing TLR 22, he's got a new reedy S plus 17.5, with Ti turnbuckle and puck system, my buggy was all stock. He's gearing 76/29, mine is 82/22(under gear). At the track, my buggy was pretty fast compare to his, that at one point he thought I was running a 13.5 motor. At the end of the run, we temp our motor. He's over heating quite a bit at 200 degree, and mine was just over 110. Not to be bias here, but I'm just so happy with my g3 motor.
