So many of you know I got into speed running the beginning of the year and have been absolutely hooked! So current Limitless setup is MMX8S, full Basherqueen set, GP5 diffs, and last few passes TP 4050 2100kv and before was TP 4060-cm 2080kv for PB of 138mph. So question is what would you suggest for a motor to get into 150's to 160's? Would you suggest Castle 1717 or 1520 1650kv being Y wind and sensored? Would you suggest a different TP motor? I plan to go to XLX2 eventually but I think first a new motor until MMX8S is absolutely maxed out what I can get from it. Now money has been tight but I just got my retirement (401k) in the mail unexpectedly as I'm guessing the plan expired since I no longer work for the company. Now hold on I know what your thinking don't spend your retirement on RC's, but I'm not. So since loosing my job somehow retirement was still being paid by the company so I've gained an extra $1500+/- that was not expected so I'd like to use some of the extra unexpected funds for my hobby "therapy". The other $7k will go into an IRA when I decide which I'd like to choose, also if you have input for a good IRA please let me know. So what are your suggestions? Also I'd like to thank and repay anyone that has offered and helped me out along the way in any way I can so please send me a PM so I can pay it forward back to those that have been so amazing to me. Again thank you for any suggestions on either the motor or the IRA, Ian
