atleast with brushed racing you could make a dud motor faster and try to keep up with driving. but a dud motor with brushless means you have to buy a new motor.

i have talked with many sponsored guys and brushless hasnt made it any easier on their end with all the speedos and motors.

the owner of darkside motorsports (a local guy here) said he was never down on power when he ran brushed but he thinks he is always down on horsepower with brushless.

brushless just made it so you dont have to bring the comm lathe but your bringing the laptop instead. ( i always did anyway)

i would suggest save up and get a tekin rs (or rs pro) the speedie is much better in my opinion and smaller

the novaks can be good motors but without the removable sensor harness i wont be getting one.
He is right. Save your money and get a Tekin RS with a 13.5 motor combo.
If you where going 4WD,then buy Tekin RS Pro. The Pro handles the 5.5 and lower hot motors.

Tekin has great tech support on their Web/forum and also on here too.

They are smooth running,small in size and you won't burn up the motor if the sensor wire disconnects on you.

Go for the Tekin!
