However brushless is here to stay. Technology will continue to move forward both because of demand and the natural cost/performance,etc.
I don't think manufacturers or racers truly understood the concequesnces and the future of r/c until we entered brushless motors and ESC's into racing.
"stock" Lap records got quicker but I dont see them as something a racer has achieved, all they did was change their 27t motor and use 13.5 with the right formula of settings to make it even faster.
Im not saying brushless is a bad thing, or its progress in development, (hardware or software related) but it's the complexity of trhe situation that's being discussed.
