GTB as a brushed ESc?
I did a search but didnt find anything really. I am wondering how is the performance of a GTB running a brushed Esc? I figure it might be the best of both worlds. running a brushless for open and 19t or stock brushed motors. I dont need the greatest ESC out there as i am just starting out into TC anyway.

has lower resitance than the gtx, so in theory should be better.

true, but the weight kills it in stock... ever weighed one w/ all those wires?
ive seen a 5.5 in a ST... a little over the top for me, but some love it...

with brushed, you only need 2 wire to the motor, short them at the esc, same result.
it is slightly heavier, but whose car is over weight, i have to add weights to my xray!!

nope... u have to keep all the same wires on the gtb to run brushed as u do BL...

no, you have to connect the pads to the motor.
Doesnt matter if they join at the motor or the esc, same electrical end result.

Why does the GTB require you to solder the 3 wires on the (+) ?
There is only 1 wire on each (-) (+) terminal using the Sphere system.

I assume that hardwiring and using connections changes the electrical principles for wiring?

(+) side is directly connected with battery and ESC, same with other brushed ESC.
Why they are different? must be different internal design. But it's true LRP's design is more user friendly which would allow you quick switch between brushless and brushed motor with just a connector change.
