Hi All

Manchester was amazing and team Madusa really enjoyed it and met some great people. Madusa did really well in the end and came away structurally intact but looks like a blown ESC and a pretty poorly motor - probably from some serious airtime!!!

A massive shout out to Micheal and RazorDave who without their help Madusa would have been but a piece of shiny HDPC sat on a table with 2 sad kids sat next to it!!!!!!

Now having a post-mortem and wanted a bit of advice...

1. I think we need to move to Brushless motors for our FW. We want something pretty beefy and weight is not an issue. Has anyone got any ideas? Saying that the Gimson Brushed Motors were excellent.

2. Given that we have destroyed our Feather 2 ESC and will likely move to Brushless motors has anyone any recommendations for ESCs? The Turnigy TZ85as seem to be always out of stock now and so keen to get my hands on something else.

Thanks again!!

Unless you are confident about making Brushless motors work, I would keep with the brushed setup as is and see if the ESC and motor can be revived so you can gain more experience at less cost for the time being. What sort of poorly are we talking about with regards to the motors?
