dont forget that I can get the brushless sytems for you as well with no postage costs, just to remind you that there is a shop onsite that can take orders and will deliver.

Eric, can you post up a list of ESC's and 13.T motors that you can get that cost around £70 and £40 respectively?

So the general consesus now is that it's and 13.T motor for under £40 and any ESC under £70 for the brushless class? I can't see how people won't be happy with this? I'll do a poll then Gazza...

I'm interested to see how yours runs on thursday gazza :wink: I think it'd be beneficial if you could run it on Saturday so that others can see what it's like?

By 13 do you mean 13.5T? Will see if I can add this to the poll.

Edit - I've added this to the poll, you can change your vote if you like :D

One of the choice's you have richard is any esc with any 13.5 brushless motor. I think you may have a problem there mate
if you have different drivers with different motors IE; orion, nosram, trinity/ LRP and many more' some are faster then others. more torque and speed. believe me i know. I raced my pan with a nosram 10.5 motor in and it was really slow' then i put a hacker 10.5 motor and you can see the difference in speed. would it be wise to have the same make brushless motor in the car. we have all done it for some time now with a G2 motor just have a different esc in.
