Default RE: who here thinks that Ae or Losi will go brushless

Zippy's are fine. The main issue is that HobbyCity have stopped stocking the big Zippy-R 25c-35c packs, leaving the H 20c-30c packs. Then again I run a slash geared 29/76 on 3s zippy H 5000mah and they run clean to the cut off, stay in balance and still put 4950mah back in the packs after running to the cut off. I'm in 30 cycles on those too.

I don't see any nitro motor hanging with a Castle Neu system on 6s. You are talking 60mph+ with torque that will flip the truck totally from a dead stop. A big block nitro screamer on a 3 spd might give you the top speed with silly gearing, but it won't give you the drivetrain crushing torque and 50+ mph wheelies. Anyone who has experienced a big brushless setup on 6s would not even talk about nitro as a performance comparison.

They are just apples and oranges.
