21.5 Brushless vs 540 Silver Can - Time to change?
Time to arouse a bit of debate I think.
21.5 brushless, is it the way of the future for the 540 classes?
Certainly the lap times are comparable there's no problem with that, so in performance terms they are quite similar (with a slight advantage to the brushless)
But there are other aspects to consider as well. The cost for one. Any way you look at it you're up for a $300 purchase as opposed to a $20 motor and any cheap-arse ESC.
I have no strong opinion one way or the other, I don't even run Touring Cars as most of you know. But I'm still interested to know what people are thinking.
Certainly the Templestowe Club in Melb are looking at it already, but is it the way to go?
Maybe there's an affordable 'combo' (like the ones used in Mini) that will offer similar performance also, but without the $300 price tag.
So?.....
