lets face it brushed is the thing of the past.... brushless is to cheap to get into as the cheap stuff still works just as good as the dear stuff for a new guy to brushless.... There is no point in having all the power in the world if you cant drive.
If u read any manual for a kit or any car you buy it says in it somewhere " dont change the basic setup until u can drive around the track consistently and no crashes"
Then get the go fast gear and tuning the chassis is the next thing...
So comparing brushed to brushless you cant for so many reasons. Honnestly they should never be compared full stop.
