It's hilarious that some of you guys are so anti-brushed because of power.
ThunderbirdJunkie's 14x2 in his B4.1 FT hung just fine with the big dog 7.5s down the straights on a 2S lipo and an ancient Novak Cyclone speedo. A racing buddy still runs 13t brushed motors with NiMhs and runs up front.
nah just in a pede that he wants to go fast, and isn't happy with the stock motors speeds.
For a brushed motor that can take the punishment it would cost about the same as a BL setup seeing to go lower in turns I believe he would also need a new ESC to handle the lower turned motor(isn't a XL-5 15t 540, 12t 550 limit).
If it was a buggy or something then yea he could get a lower turned brushed motor, and it would be fine.
