What's the best 17.5 on the market today looking at getting new motor
Are the orca 17.5 any good

Gonna get a million answers, but there are some good ideas from some recent posts in here.

I'm a fan of the new fantom fr-1 very fast motor. And top notch support.

Are you wanting a short stack? I would find something with a 12.5mm high torque rotor, I would try the reedy.

That is what I just bought and agree it is very fast.

My buggy feels super fast with the Trinity D4 1S 17.5. That's just me.

Orca motors are good quality, I ran a 10.5 in a 6 hour endurance race and it came off at around 60 deg Celsius. Their 17.5 lacks power and top end speed compared to The current top motors though. I've been running fantom FR 1 motors this season and their definitely the best I've come across so far.

Revtech 24k any thoughts on this one

I called fantom and had them build me a 17.5 for short coarse. Wow! Was a bit pricy but it was worth it. That motor is amazing. I'm going to have them build me a 13.5 now.

I just got one as well, I thought their pricing was really good. I ordered the works edition, with the ultra select rotor. I skipped the aluminum tid bits and the final price was 130.00 plus they have a 10% discount for new customers. Not pricey at all IMO and yes this things seems like it will be a beast in my SCT.

Great motor.

Reedy 1s with a 12.5 rotor in both of my cars.

Tekin is the fastest out currently imo

reilly motorsports tuned 24k hands down its 150 bucks ive ran tons of 17.5 motors this one has been the best they run them in there sct and they come off at 225 and are just booking and motor is not even phased.

I went all out on mine and it is a beast. Mine was $160. Your pry right...it's not bad for a motor that just plain rocks!
