alot think by using hobbywing they get alot of power because its brushless
but its only realy designed for long run times which increase from 15 mins to about 45 and a little bit more power + speed. everyone goes after huge speed an power with it. and bang... there goes your blowen motors. its pretty much a good reliable system. slamming the throttle all the time will not help your motor. its not designed for racing at all.
i will give it to hobbywing in the 6months of racing the truck only had 3 weekends away from a track and some weekends did 2 race meets for the weekend so in all the 2 motors did 24+ race meets and bashing with mates on a friday night is a lot of work for the motors
main reason for the change is to try to get an edge on the bloke i am fighting for in points at the club
