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

Thanks
You don't go to brushless because it's faster. You go brushless because it's easier. Go over to the Speedmerchant thread. The guy who won 1/12 stock at the Snowbirds explains how he was trying a new motor but couldn't get the rollout just right, so he switched back to his tried and true motor which had almost a hundred runs on it. To quote Mr. Lia, "ya gotta love brushless."

Had he been using brushed motors he probably would have rebuilt the motor after every round (well okay Sal would have )
