View Full Version : GLRC: how many plan on running brushless 2.
Dustin 10-24-2004, 06:18 PM Hey guys,
If you know me I run stock truck. I am in a possition right now to where I can get a Novak GTX or a brushless system. I want to get a brushless but they are expensive, and besides the guys who race truck with them can't get it together.
Vote on what you plan to do.

David Washburn 10-24-2004, 07:47 PM you know where i voted
S.Stew 10-24-2004, 09:58 PM do what you want, brushless should (and might) become its own class.

Yet another reason why brushless is not right for our track.
JimRuninit 10-25-2004, 05:06 PM I will not be running brushless. I can't wait to join you guys :thumbsup:
bustedparts 10-25-2004, 05:39 PM I changed my mind,i will not get a brushless for the truck,I am going to work on the truck and my driving skills.I think if I add more power than what I have I am going to run into more troubles than what I want.
David Washburn 10-25-2004, 06:12 PM hey ithought that u were gonna clean ur room dustin
Dustin 10-25-2004, 06:20 PM I am really, considering getting a brushless. I have ignored it in the past but it becomes more of a good idea the longer it think about it. Especially in the long run price wise:
*Brushes every other week: $3.00
*new arm every other month: $15.00
*Spare backup motor:$30.00
*Ect...........$?.??
Besides the guys at the track who are doing bad with brushless are wreckless because, the are too stuburn to turn the ESC down :rolleyes:, there radios may not have the right adjustments to turn down the motors torque, or they may just have a bad setup. Besides with brushless the ESC has a lifetime warrenty, you don't need to do any maintinence or buy any brushless, and racing would strickly be based on pure skill and setup. It's something I may do.

once those guys figure out that it has a variable speed throttle instead of a on/off switch they will start doing good. Getting use to driving it is hard because with stock you have to mash the throttle because they are slow, a brushless is extremly fast and has no drag when you let off so you need to learn to use brakes too! :thumbsup:
bustedparts 10-26-2004, 03:18 PM Eather that or set up a bit of drag brake.
David Washburn 10-26-2004, 04:19 PM that to
Cooter 10-26-2004, 08:14 PM The C-Dan is sporting a brand new ss5800 and mine is turned down from 120% to 65% and it will still take a well tuned stock motor down the straight and I might also add I love that bad boy its better, smoother, torquier than any brushed motor ive ever seen. :thumbsup:
David Washburn 10-26-2004, 08:19 PM AMEN to ya tim :jest: :jest:

I do ok on the infield too
FishRC 10-29-2004, 09:18 AM Reading over the posts are they runing the 5800 or the 4300 brushless. The 4300 is what is rated for stock. If your running a 5800 that sould be a modified.

Most if not all are running the SS5800 system!! :thumbsup:
JankmasterA 11-01-2004, 09:41 PM If anybody has a brushless they would like to sell please PM me and we can discuss a price. Thanks
