how can you call brushless fiddly compared to silver cans? at the 08 novak race where 17.5 novak brushless was spec, i put a 17.5 in my car, gtb speed control, the 20t pinion (fixed gearing in a mini) and raced all weekend without touching it. this seems much less fiddly than buying 5 or more silver cans, running them in water and what ever else to try to make them faster, then either dyno each of them or have to run them on the track to see which is fastest.. seems alot more fiddly than putting a motor in your car and racing it.
