Then, when you've had that motor a few races, it's time to by a new rotor because the old one is 'tired'. And that's after you've bought the option rotors to test which one is fastest.
Brushless is just the same as brushed, except the speedos and motors cost three to five times as much! In so many respects brushless is a better technology than brushed, and I for one would not want to go back. But please let's not give the impression that you can get around all this faffing around with speedos and motors if you go brushless - life ain't like that!

And that's exactly why I have never, and will never, race a controlled class! (or buy secondhand anything that's been anywhere near a touring car)
