If your looking to drop that low in winds, I would look for a good 19 turn from Trinity or Reedy....performance wise, they will blow the 17t venom out of the water....

I am pretty sure your speed control can handle a 17 or 19t no problem...

the double, single, triple, etc is really irrelevant to the ESC....I guess if you were right on the limit, it could be an issue....but a few turns off, so no biggie.

I still would look for a 19t....I have some on my website I am clearing out for $10.....all you gotta do is solder on brushes...
