Is a brushless motor worth it?
 
Im planning on buying a brushless motor pretty soon. Hobby Town has a kit for $221. it has a novak esc and an ss4300 motor. Is it worth the money? Can you also run normal tires on it withough many problems? or is it only good for drifting?

RE: Is a brushless motor worth it?
 
Since when was brushless made for drifting? It should be thought of visa-versa. It's made for longer run-times and more power compared to a brushed motor. If you're buying it just for drifting, it's a waste of money. If you plan on racing around with some grip tires you'll have a blast with it. More information on the Novak BL system can be found in the motor/engine category. [8D]
