I loved the torque of a brushless, but I got tired of the constant maintenance and when you put as many hours as I do drifting it just made sense, dollar wise to go brushless. I have tried HPI flux motiv, Castle Creation sidewinder and Mamba Max and Mamba Max Pro and even EZ Run. After using a Yokomo sensored brushless system I have to admit that they are really tuned for drifting. Throttle response and power curve on the Yok systems is superb.
