And just to throw a few numbers in there...

A quick search for 12x2 brushed motor specifications comes up with results of around 40,000 to 42,000rpm (at 7.2v) and powers of about 185W

With 13.5t we usually suggest a Kv rating of around 3000Kv which would give you somewhere around 12,500rpm on 1s and 25,000rpm on 2s. Output power is also around the 90W mark (at least as far as 1s goes).

Obviously, one cannot compare directly between brushed and brushless motors - torque characteristics will be different and a lot will depend on timing etc. However, back-of-the-envelope calculations give your 12x2 motor to be roughly twice as powerful as a "standard" 13.5t.

Yep, wheel spin will probably account for your tire wear... ;-)
