Default what do you prefere BL or brushed?

On a smal track I feel that i have more power with brushed than with BL, I alsoe feel that with BL th power band is diffrent and more top speed

I agree with losixxx, i personally prefer the feel of a brushed motor setup, i feel like the brushless motors feel almost flat

I have been tempted to go back to brushed motors again, but i am a bit lazy and like the maintenance free side of things

Default It depends...

For me it depends on the class I race, On or Offroad. Touring stock I prefer the Trinity CO27 PRO Brushed in the EVO 4, you can tweak the motor (more power) but maintenance is nonstop. My 501X has the SPHERE Brushless system and I love it, the power is INSANE!

I love the BL systems but i run 5 cells and 4.5 or 4.0 in my 501X
With 5 cells you get a powerband that is just amasing.
past weekend i had over 2000 left in my packs i 4wd.

And the balance in the car is beter with 5 cells
