brushless motors? how do they work? does that mean no more skimming??? i remember that being a pain... i used to run a 15 x 3 motor i think.. i had a 16 x 6 somewhere too....
do you thinkk the old chassis / gearbox could handle the power?
i know the old girl could get through the corners (probably) but would the diff / spur gear hold on??
i think another problem would be seals for the shocks.. but i bet some new shocks are the same length.... you still run 2.2" tyres?? |
Brushless motors are almost fit & forget, no skimming, are faster & have more power (windings on the rotor, electronics in the can cause it to rotate, only a bearing at each end to worry about), mostly an equilivant to a 9 turn is used (lower in TC), motors need a matching speed control, these can be programmed with different profiles.
Batteries are easy to use lipos, a lot less weight, always lots of power, without extra weight in the car they are too fast. Controls are 2.4g - auto picks a free channel (no crystals) always locks on to your car, switch on and go. Makes for more time twix heats for a wander & a chat, a nicer day for most ( not sure whats upset captainlip) cars all have slippers, still run yellow spot tyres etc. if the races were longer then we would not fit the heats & finals into a day. Big changes in the last couple of years, get down to a club a look around.
