Pretty much all of us are running 13.5 brushless now, only a couple are running brushed, brushless just has so many advantages. But - as you're only just starting out run with what you have before spending any more.
As for tyres - someone will probably have a set you can use. May be helpful if you say what car they are for in case someone has as set mounted on suitable rims already.

Dave.
PS - I think I'm the only person at the club who collects Tamiya 540 motors these days - for my Mardave oval racing!

Thanks Dave, I've hunted round in the loft and think I've found a couple of old 27t motors, I'll give these a skim and try them, if they are no good I'll resort to the Tamiya Sport tuned which I think are 27T or maybe 23T but don't feel that powerful!!
2 of the cars are Tamiya (a Gravel hound and a Dark Impact) so they have the standard Tamiya hex and ones an Associated B44 (if it comes by courier tomorrow
) but I have new tyres for that and 1 of the Tamiya's.
I also race Mardave's at Maritime, do you race yours on the Oval at Medway?

Will double check tonight

Many Thanks Brett, I'll be happy to give you some dosh for them if you've got them. I'll probably need to get a set of Tamiya rims as well as the Gravel Hound tyres look well glued to their rims and won't come off easily!
Thank you both for your help,
Cheers,
Jon
