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.

Yet another reason why brushless is not right for our track.

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.

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:

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:

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.
