This of course took place over finding a brush, trimming it your way, springs and dyno tuning it.
In either scenario, brushed or brushless, you could leave it in the car with no work if that's your bag. But there is more to be had when tweaking things in either scenario.
I suppose it's the same in the end. Either way, you're gonna have to put in some time if you want to take it to the podium.
Bob, when was the last time you saw someone win a race with a motor that had a hundred runs on it?
Motor timing: You set it once, unless you try a different setting
ESC timing: Same as above, and even easier to change
Firmware update: Welcome to the 21st century Bob!
Brushed motors: Yes, you did similar things with brushes and such,
but you did them every run!!!
Something else I noticed at my track. Between rounds, racers are walking around talking to other racers, not bent over their comm lathe's getting every RPM they can find.
Brushed motors belong in a museum, next to that RC12I
