Brushed winds Vs Brushless

[mikeyscott]

Looking at getting a brushless motor, but I'm wanting to know how the winds compare to brushed. Looking at 6.5 upwards and if I go for a lower wind etc. I'll wind it back on my radio / ESC.

Cheers,

i know 13.5t brushless race with 27t brushed, and i think 6.5t brushless race with 19t brushed.

but with brushless its alot less hassel and generaly better.

6.5 will be around a 10/11, 5.5 around a 9 in cells, one lower for lipos (at least). With Lipos most are running 7.5's in 2wd, which goes like a 10/11, with cells it is like 11/12's.

I'm running IB4200 NIMHs and I've got a Vampire Racing 5200 LIPO waiting in the wings. Looks like the 7.5T is the better route. I'm just getting running on a 19x2 LRP Stock motor at the mo.

What recommendations do people have for a B4 with a LRP Sphere TC

[Mike Hudson]

definately 7.5

So I'm looking at a 21/22 pinion with a 7.5?

I run my 7.5 on a 25 pinion in my B4 and have no problems with it getting overly hot. Thats using 3800 lipo's.
