RE: Troubling observations about brushless . . .
This some of the best replies I have seen in a while. Congrats to all.
Now brushless can be done from mild to insane. The problem is that most people use the first several packs to see how fast they can wear out a set of tires. Then they settle down and start learning about what they really have. But what you see in the videos is those first packs. I have built rock crawlers and they were slow with lots of torque to pullup rocks. I have made cars that exceed 100 mph with relative ease but they can be turned around and run on a track or just bashed down the street with ease. My son really likes driving those cars. They respond and drive like they are on rails at 60 to 70 mph. Then with a simple change of batteries they launch like a rocket and the hardest part is keeping them on the ground. So plan you car/ truck as a complete unit and you will not be dissapionted when you are done. You need to look at every part and plan how to get the most out of it for what you have in mind for the whole thing. Good luck and have fun.
