if these engines are the miracles that they claim to be i recon it's a boon for electric.

my personal reason for not getting into electric is the amount of extra stuff that is needed. solders, comm lathes (what are they anyway? ) extra wires, peak chargers, good batteries, plus a whole lot of stuff which a simple nitro driver like myself doesn't know about.

electric to me anyway, seems really time consuming. great racing, but time consuming. a motor like these new brushless things would simplify the hobby alot, and would tempt people in my position or opinion to give it a go. the filth of nitro cars is sometimes a bit annoying. i also read the rc lines article but didn't read anything about how the don't need rebuilds, wear out cutting coms etc.

the day that i can grab a electric motor, peak charge some batteries, solder it all together and just put everything into a hudy evo 2 is the day that i'd join electric....and don't get me wrong i'm eagerly waiting that day, i might just even give up nitro when it becomes that easy.

is it true they cost $500!! (what fatdog said) if the last as long as a nitro engine without a major rebuild (at least 1 year) i'd be willing to spend that. just as long as a brushless rebuild means just pulling it apart and cleaning it...or whatever.
