When I finally got tired of the maintenance, I sold my two chargers, six battery packs, dischargers, lathe, and speed control. I bought a brand new sphere comp, 3 star motor, Ice charger, and Orion 4800 LiPo, and had some money left over. Oh yeah, and lots of extra time too. I really don't see what is not to like about this technology.
If somebody goes out and buys the latest and greatest stock motor and beats everyone, the rest of the competition will buy one too. What makes brushless stock all that different? The 1952 ROAR rulebook states that only rubber bands with no more than 200 turns may power race vehicles. I had bags and bags of rubber bands that I had to get rid of when they changed the rules to allow electric motors. I lobbied for motors wound with burnable filaments as windings so they would lose power quickly and stop moving like the rubber bands. Racing was so much more fun back then.
