Mark,
When I first started, I was running 1/12 stock, which was 27T brushed, with an 8-minute heat. Six minutes with the new stock motor, 17.BL, sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't want to spend $250-300 on a new ESC/motor to run it brushless. I *am* going to rebuild by 12L with a GTX and a 27T brushed motor.
That's the thing that's really bugging me--everything has to be brushless now. Don't get me wrong, I love brushless, but there is so much good equipment still around for brushed motors, and the ROAR rules seem to indicated that stock is 17.5BL or 27T brushed, and super-stock is 13.5BL or 19T brushed.
TTFN,
Grem
