If you want a brushed ESC I can sell you one identical to the one I run in my TL01 for £9. Brand new too! I can't complain about mine, works a treat
Chris is running a sensorless 13T in his FF01 and it is about right compared to the F1s.
Same for my brushed 15T HPI that I tried today. The transmissions in the tourers have massive losses compared to the F1s, I tried running a silvercan and it is pointless when most of the field are F1s. I was still slower down the straight that half the F1 field with my 15T motor! Mind you, it isn't brand spanking, it has had a fair bit of use.
FWIW, I look forward to having more tourers in Clubman!
