Default 17.5 too fast?

are 17.5t cars getting too fast how does it help beginers or cost concious drivers if 17.5 is faster in a straight line than a mod
i know this as i dropped a class due to odd numbers and my 2wd b4 with an 11.5t wasnt as fast as some 4wd 17.5t shall i just throw some more money at my car

I think some of the cars in the 540 class may not have 17.5T motors in them, although I may be wrong.

However it is so cheap now to get a 17.5T set up that will fly that the cost is not a main issue.

I think you can still get reasonable top end on a boosted 17.5t motor geared up high.

I imagine similar to mod motors without the punch.

my point is that if your car is so fast why are you in the newbie class or do you fear being beaten by racing against comparable cars Brett made the a final 4wd mod with a silver can power will never replace skill i thought 540 class was where you learnt to drive then moved on not where you went to test the boundaries of speed control technology and boost curves the cheapest apex 17.5 set up is £110 that will easily run a 10.5 for the same price its about making an a final

No idea, I thought 540 class was like a spec class. With drivers of all levels. I was tempted to have a crack myself in it, but now I think i'd better not.

it so could be if a speedo has a boost function it will probably have blinky easy to police and comparable with brushed and most rtr brushless set ups
