Agreed, but as a PETA member I'd like to substitute a fat RC guy for the horse

For most racers the 17.5 is not slower than a 27t. Once you figure out that you have to gear it to the moon you will see that it is pretty close, or faster for most people. At National events where the Motor Dudes are doing their magic, then 27t has (up until now) been faster. Try BL rollouts in the neighborhood of 80 to 90 and see what you get.

Servos: Futaba 9602, 9650, JR 3550, 3650, KO 949, 951. The new 951 is the strongest and fastest servo available.

I like Stormer for online sales

Pink rears and Purple fronts. Magenta fronts if you need more steering.
My favorite body is the Parma Speed 8 HD, or Speed 8 for stock or higher bite tracks.
There is also the Protoform Speed 12 and Speed 12b . Speed 12b is for stock or high bite tracks.
