Just a shame that the 1080 cant take a higher voltage than 3s.

It works perfect with no clogging. He has been using 2200 3s packs. He has the throttle turned down to 60 percent. The motor and esc do not even get warm. There's like no load. Cus there geared so low. I see no reason to go brushed. His can crawl super slow and precise with gobs of power . (We just used extra electronics that we had laying around. Good luck. Have fun.
Sounds like you've never tried anything else in it? Just the fact that the esc you're using has no instant reverse or drag brake would be a killer, let alone running sensorless.
