Don't forget about ESC 'profiles' or variable forward advance algorhythms / parameters. We've seen what a significant difference this can have on dyno tests earlier in this thread. With brushed, you set forward advance at the motor in a fixed fashion only, typically trading off between power and efficiency. There was no such thing as a variable profile.
