Brushless is mod truck or better yet, li-po up and race with the gas trucks for 20 minutes using an 8000 mah li-po battery!!! More FUN racing for 20 minutes than 5 minutes.
Stock Truck should be for beginners and novices. I am against Pros racing in Stock Truck class. There has to be a place for people to start without getting intimidated.
as a racer i dont see the point in racing for more than 10 mins.unless of course it was an endurance race.i know most tracks race about 5-6 mins and by the end everyone is pretty much at their own spot in the race and not bunched up in the same corner unless its a good even race.but other than that the racers will pretty much be in the same position after 10 mins.but if the future is brushless i would like to see more options on the brushless like the brushed motors have like springs tension, brush compounds and the sort.i know brushless dosent have that stuff but maby different little options.
As a racer who has ran 5 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, 20 minute, 25 minute and even 30 minute Electric Pro Truck Mains. I perfer the 20 minute ones best that is plenty of time to let the cream rise to the top instead who is the luckiest on the 1st lap or that lapped truck takes the leader out in the 5 minute race where in the 20 minute race the best usually wins. Besides I like the extra track time in the 20 minute race and it has drawn back several of the gas guys back to electric with the plug and play low maintence aspect of brushless/li-po racing.
I have seen several 20 minute races decided on the last lap.
The future is here with Brushless and li-pos! Let's make Electric popular again!
