How about this (quick google)

Etronix Probe WP ESC 15t motor limit & Lipo cut off under £25
HPI Saturn 20t motor under £10

Ideal for beginners...then replace when confident to go faster.
I agree!

Brushed sealed can motors won't last long with lipos though. I know they are on £8, but you will burn through a few through the year.

I'm not so sure that enforcing a 17.5 blinky spec class is the answer either. That will just lead to cost increases and buying more and more expensive motors and lipos, against the spirit of the class, cheap and level racing for beginners, kids or those wanting level competition.
