ok i am reallllllyyyyy sick of brushes, they just [edited]. today i was running my truck and it just stopped, my brushes wore down when i just replaced them a month ago. what are the dis/advantages of brushless also do they go faster and run longer than brushed? thanks

I wish I could get mine to last a month, I can usualy get maybe 4 or 5 runs out of mine and thats 4 mins of racing(oval)--your ahead of me by atleast 25 bucks worth of brushes I have spent a month. especialy for a dirt vehicle. I was told brushless is between a stock and 19 turn motor and can easily make a motor last a year or better, maybe not with dirt but much cheaper than replacing brushes every time you do. we were considering doing a brushless class because of no motor work every week, seems to be the way to go these days.

I have a ss5800, it is a tad faster than my friends 7 turn orion, and i haven't even geared it right yet.
