Buggy meetings are usually open to what motor you run so you can run any motor wind you want. I know stock racing is big in the states in buggy racing but it has never been massive over here.
I personally say that 17.5 would be way to slow in a Durango, I would say a good starting point would be more like a 10.5, which wouldn't be too hot to drive but enough to get over jumps . Plus a Speedo you can advance timing you can start with it slow and then turn up the wick when you feel more confident.

a 10.5 is quite slow in a 4wd buggy. a 17.5 would be would snooze worthy.

Get something like a 10.5/8.5 to start with, it will be more than enough outside and inside racing. Have to agree a 17.5 would be very slow in a buggy like the durango outside!

still need some info
i have been doing some research on classes that run in my area and I'm have trouble finding a 17.5 class for buggy i am already running 10.5 in my stadium truck and and some 10.5 set ups in my mini8 and rc18b2 and rc18t so now i am leaning towards a 10.5 to 8 turn and i am wondering what would be a good choice of motor brand an turn rating also an esc that would work good with those turn motors i am still leaning towards the rs and i know the rs is good to a 5.5 turn so what would be the best combo

Bear in mind that Mr Menace is the good ol' U.S. of A, so normal rules need not apply.
V3menace - it makes life so much easier if you fill in all the blanks!

going with a lower turn motor
I've been online and on the phone all day looking for tracks near me and what their classes are and i found out that i will have to go with a lower turn motor i have some 10.5 that I'm real comfortable with should i go with the 10.5 or a lower turn like a 6.5 to 8.5
so what would be the best set up for those turn motors and esc now since i am looking at different motors and esc open for all inputs |
