I dunno, my entire 1/12th cost less than a brushless motor.
I mean lets break it down:
~30$ for a Monster Stock.
~20 - 30$ in sprays, drops, oils for it
~$45 for a ESC (an ESC for a stock motor doesnt need to be that fancy)
thats still a heck of a lot cheaper than a brushless for many runs. Even replacing brushes you are only up another 10$.
I do agree though brushless everything would be better, but its not that practical due to price still. I mean spend 350 - 400$ on a 1/12th vs 200 - 250$.
To me its all about cost, cause if cost was no option then I would run a 1/10th sedan. I prefer to save my money for nitro burning cars

I think we should bomb all the factories that make brushed motors, so we can just switch already!

So you think you know what a fast 1/12 is?
Join Vue and try trackside and see what they should look like.

If you guys don't know about it yet the work party will be this Saturday. Unfortunately I will be working and can't make it. Can't wait to see the new big track with new carpet.

Heheh I didnt see a time or know a time, I swung by the new location at like 4:00pm and no one was there... according to some other people you guys just finished up and left right before I got there.
Oh well... next weekend I may try to swing by... all depends when I get home from the UP on sunday.
