Our current track rules don't allow ANY brushless, but I hope that might change.. Since I am waiting to find out about the rules change for next year, I have a little time to check this all out - just not the money to buy two systems because I chose the wrong one the first time.

I do have a couple of questions that I don't think I have seen covered in this thread.

Is there a heat issue with brushless motors? I have had a terrible time overheating motors in stock, even when running identical gearing to other cars on track with me - I'm assuming it's my driving style...

Has anyone mounted either of these systems on an XRay T1FK05? I have a spectrum RX and a GT7, and I had to put the RX on top of the servo with just these components.

What maintenance DOES need to be done to brushless systems? They can't be completely maintenance free, can they?

Thanks guys - I am really looking forward to changing to brushless if it is everything that I think it is...
