Nobody is making that an issue. You are still missing the point.


As for you proving that BL has an advantage......"they don't have brushes" doesn't exactly prove that there's an advantage.
Since you seem to conveniently overlook what people are saying here, as you are obviously still missing the point... here is my explination of the brushless advantage:

"THEE most basic advantage, is the fact that there are no brushes! Your brush springs pushing on the brushes, forcing contact between the brushes and the comm, generates a ton of friction and a ton of heat greatly reducing the amount of torque put to the tires, and therefor reducing acceleration. So simply limited the RPM of a BL motor doesn't correctly compensate for the unfair advantage of a BL motor. They simply can't compete in the same class."

So in lamen's terms, just for you, There is signifigantly less drag and heat generated in a brushless, translating into a noticable torque and acceleration advantage regardless of where the RPMs are limited to.
