I don't have anymore brushed motors and don't understand the need to force a couple of people to buy brushless, especially in this economy...
Ok - just buy $2000 worth of support equipment to make that brushed motor be competitive or go home because you are 1.5 sec a lap off the pace just from motor.

Comm cuts every run - Robitronics dyno, stacks of brushes and springs, comm lathe, brush cutting jig - naw thats MUCH cheaper then brushless.

at least if I'm 1.5 seconds off the pace - its because thats as good as I can drive and I didn't have to thrash motors for 2 hours - I just need to learn how to drive better and setup better.
