do you really need to be asking this?!?!?!?
go ask in the TCS thread - 'cuz until Tamiya allows brushless in their Mini class, most if not ALL of North America will be running silver Johnson motors
so you need to convince Tamiya USA to change their rules...
stop trying to wreck a good fun class

but i agree with your comments otherwise

nothing like seeing (and lining up) your pass 2 laps ahead of time
if people understood that closer, more even (and dare i say slower) speeds make for better racing, then people would get why some classes are more fun then others...
I should add to my post earlier - i'm not opposed to running BL in my M03/M05, but won't because 95% of the USA run silver can motors and 100% of my area run according to TCS rules...so like i said, until Tamiya changes (and i'd be all for a hobbywing/tamiya sensorless kind of system) very few tracks in the USA will

Scooby Who ?
Only we can go brushless You have to stay with a silver can ! :- ) - lol --------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another note where can we get different body's for the M05 - L other then the 06 model , . Do they have any on the market ! That will fit !
Thanks !

they weren't super quick going down the back straight at the one track near me - but there were a blast to race

i race TC because it is quicker , and if you want a quicker race join TC ,
minis are minis and they are ment to be slow and close racing

Das anyone tried the HPI 240z body on an M05?

Australia hasn't had TCS for years and years. And THAT is why we went to the Hobbywing 13T brushless system.
And I doubt you'd find a single person who doesn't think it's the best decision we ever made! Silver Cans and/or Sport Tuneds - up to 2000 rpm variance between what are supposedly the same motors.
Hobbywing, about 150 rpm variance.'
I can understand people staying with Silver Cans if TCS rules predominate, but if they don't then I couldn't change quickly enough!

With Sport Tuned and silver cans there was a huge difference between each motor. We even run them on foams, all run same tires/hardness, so it's down to driving and not finding a secret formula...

wow you guys could make it more even that way. Every race has to have an rpm limit. I think that is bullshit! So you have to have 5 different cheater motors oops I mean tuned motors to run this class in different places witch will run you $45 a piece! So I can see where brush less would be more expensive! Lol!!!!
