I'm not sure if I should go with a 7.5T or 6.5T motor. I race about half the time on a pretty big astro track and the other half on a smaller technical hardpacked, dusty track. I don't care about motors with a lot of juice, but I'd like to have a smooth powerband.

Brands I'm thinking of are Tekin, LRP/Nosram, Viper, Speedpassion.
Are you sure it's the motor? All my LRPs are painfully smooth... everything from my 4.5 all the way up to my 17.5.
