But, I will admit I don't know what is best for the hobby, or the class. I only know what is in my best interest, and sometimes I have to set that aside for the good of all...
Brushless has advanced WAY faster than Brushed. I really wish ROAR would have allowed development on the Brushed. There was A LOT that could have been done to them with out opening up the huge can of worms they did with jumping right to brushless. Hell simply allowing bearings in stock motors would have helped tremendously.
really would have like to see what could have been done without the programming scenarios associated with brushless.
I could not be in anymore agreement with that last statement. I wish the hobby as a whole could put aside self interest for the betterment of the racers, ESPECIALLY THE MANUFACTURES.
