As far as "what brushes are".....ask the Top 9 guys in the A main......

"Never too fast? Really? Isn't why Indy drivers can't compete in F! and F! eats indy cars for breakfast. They just dont have the skills. Not all things are equal. Seen too many fast mods and nitros get lapped by "slower cars".
So don't hit the throttle so hard...genius. If you don't give it full throttle, it goes slower...duh! Or, if you can't control yourself, try limiting the EPA. Brushless is so efficient, you could run the 5.5 all day long at half throttle and be alot more efficient than a brushed motor. Indy guys and F-1 guys go to the same school, and who cares about F-1, this is RC racing... I don't know anyone whose gone to RC racing school.

s4300---27t stock

5.5r and 6.5r-the name says it all for these 2 they are the same as a 5.5x2 and a 6.5x3 respectively

You better race to the next street corner and buy some more crack

ss5800 = 12 or 13 turn
gtb 6.5 = 9-10t
gtb 5.5 = 8-9t
ss5800 is no where near a 8 turn mod!

A well tuned 12T can pump out 240+W, I don't think ss5800 has that much power.
