Tuned Brushless or Regular whats the difference but price.

I guess the best way to explain it is someone takes someone else's platform and makes mods to it so its better. Like right now I am looking at BOSS motors which start from a SpeedPassion V3 motor platform and the MuffDogg sorry if I spelt that wrong and I think that platform came off the Epic Duo motors.

It just amuses me. Novak's engineers designed the sensored, brushless motor platform adopted for RC racing, but someone needs to "tune" Chinese imports as if that magically bestows some additional performance.
All of our BL motors are designed and manufactured here in Irvine, and "tuned" by us. We have designed all of our motor testing equipment and oversee every step of manufacturing. No other US MFG (or tuner) can make this claim.

I'm not bashing motor "tuners" but I think in the brushed days they were more of a benefit than today. For the most part I think you could tune your own brushless motor yourself. I'm thinking of refreshing or "tuning" my X12 because I've used it for a year. I emailed Murffdogg about ceramic bearing in motors and he says he saw no performance difference. I have also heard that from others. BUT I do think stronger, balances rotors could make a difference, and you can install a tuned rotor yourself. So I guess my point is...do what you'd like. And if your an excellent driver and can get everything out of a motor, it won't hurt to have a tuned one.

We offer individual 13.5 and 17.5 Ballistic 540 motors with ceramic bearings and graded rotors already installed. And, we have our Build-A-Ballistic™ programs for customers who want additional customization.
Probably the best "tuning" option for older motors is installing a new rotor---the magnetic strength of rotors weakens with heat.

Novak all the way it's just a matter of looking for the sweet spot to make the best performance out of your motor. I have been running novak since they released their brushless system. I experiment with different motor but I always end running my ballistic on the main. I run Novak 4.5 ballistic at the reedy race this year in open mod no dought I got one of the fastest car on the straight but got too many electrical issues with receiver and interference.
