Like said a good 19T with real good 4200s will be faster at the beginning of a race but the lap times will begin to slow a little bit. He started at 10.8s but fell to 11.3s by the end of the run. Where the brushless/li-po combo just does not fall off. Start with 11.0s end with 11.0s Got to love it.
Later,
Yea, and it was Bill Sydor, and he's no slouch. It's safe to say he's consistently in the top 30 at big events, and knows a thing or two about tuning motors and handling batteries. He went out there and turned a few 10.8, 10.9 and 11.0's in the first minute or so. Once his pack flattened out, it dropped off to about 11.3 - 11.5. The 4300 guys all had fast laps in the 11.0 to 11.1 range, but like you said, it was consistent and lasted the entire race. That was an extremely tight layout, too, so the 19T didn't get to assert itself as much as it would on a more open track. The 4300s were noticeably faster out of the turns, but the 19T ate them up on the straights.
