Default RE: WHY GO BRUSHLESS??????????

The sooner we get away from the old brushed motor technology the better.

Brushless and li-pos will stop the flood of RC racers from going to gas to get more track time and longer races. We already run 20 minute electric 1/10th scale 2wd stadium truck mains called Pro Truck.

We race and just plug up to recharge for the next race without the battery leaving the truck using the same motor for over 1 1/2 years just changing the bearing around every 3 months. No comms to cut or clean. no magnets to zap, no batteries to discharge or zap, no trick batteries or trick motors.....just plug and play racing. I probably average 2 to 4 hours of run time each weekend on this same 1 1/2 year old motor with hardly no maintence that has the power to keep up with most mod brushed motors and even gas trucks on the straight away. We even race with the gas trucks sometimes due to alot of us perfer the longer 20 to 30 minute mains that we of course making stop and go pit stops for 5 seconds just like the gas trucks do!

Brushless and li-pos are the future and will make electric racing popular again!

No comm cutter to buy, no Turbo 35 to buy, no battery zapper to buy, no motor dyno to buy, no magnet zapper to buy, just plug and play for lots of track time and no maintence with no trick motors and batteries!!! Brushless and li-pos are the future!!!!
