Should the brushless go any faster? and do you think that his setup is equal to the rest of us?

Thanks
Yes - Brushless is usually faster once you get the rollout right, BUT one big difference is that Brushed motor/ESC combo is lighter than Brushless. So unless this "top" driver found a way to get his car as light as it was with Brushed, than the Brushless power advantage will be less.
