I have a G force which seems plenty powerful enough for small tracks running 4-4.5 FDR with 40* end bell timing. Not had chance to run it at a big track yet but I'm sure it would be competitive for £50
The Speed passion V3 motors are good value at about £32 but not many use them in 17.5 so not sure what they are capable of
Turnings trackstars are popular at my local clubs and only £22

If your club doesnt do BRCA list motors go for a Turnigy Track star 17.5 from hobbyking. They are fantastic for the price (£25) and basically are the same as my reedy which costs £75.

Excellent
