One more thing - Cassy - Not trying to bust on you and don't take it personal - But You need to do more research on brushed motors.

If Cliff Lett can take a 12t motor that Mike Reedy himself put together do 96MPh - I would not be making comments saying 12t brushed motors are crap. Making the car go fast is not always brushless. I personally do not run brushed motors because they have a lot of maintence to keep them in peak condition. That is why I run brushless. But some blokes I know can make a brushed motor out perform most brushless anyday. I personally do not have the know how to make brushed motor to have that kind of performance. That is why I run brushless.

Some guys I know back in the US run RC electric drag cars. They go 135ft for their race against a clock. They get 85MPh 1.61 seconds in 135 ft. They use brushed motors and not brushless.

I would not be surprised that it is a brushed motor that walks away with being the winner in next years event in California.
