This is something we briefly spoke about last year Pete.
I ran a couple of brushed motors last year with 4200 NiMH's, after a couple of meetings the 14D i had in the Top Force the performance dipped and needed a re-build. Just like the old days. And thats a pain in the arse for me, i barely have time to race atm and i certaily dont have time to skim & rebuild motors again....
If you had to buy a cheap brushed set up from scratch its just more expense that you will only use for vintage, but you can buy a Ezrun 8.5 motor & speedo for about 65 quid that you can double up and use in your modern cars and with no worries about having to keep rebuilding it...
But saying that ill do whatever is decided as i want the Top Force to win this year no matter what motor we end up using
