That's true, it could do but if I solve the grip issue, it'd be more of a hindrance than anything.

Also to note, whilst the tires shredded quite heavily during the champs, it turns out I'd not put the screws in properly after adjusting the tread pre-champs, so they were sticking up above the tire more than they should have done, basically I ran on the screws alone for most of the event... nobody to blame but myself for that one!

I was having a few thoughts on the brushless system, I could use a hybrid system - instead of using just sensorless, I could use that as a 'turbo mode' and have some brushed torpedo 800 motors for my low-end drive. It'd be a squeeze to get in, but it'd mean I have the best of both worlds in a fashion. Could always downside on the brushed motors, I don't need those to be my main drive, all I need is something with enough torque to still push things about but slow enough to give me plenty of control.

It'd kind of be like Firestorm's differential in theory, I guess. No idea if it'd work, but if I could fit the brushless motor/s to a forward/backward switch on a DX3, or maybe even program it in so that it kicks in when I've got the throttle for the main drive at about 50% or something.

The lack of start-up torque would be a killer for turning just on sensorless brushless, perhaps a dual brushed/brushless setup is the way forward? I'll see how it works in practice first before mucking about with a hybrid system though, I've never driven a brushless machine so I can't really comment on how effective it is!


Edit: Actually, that's a thought... how would a removable link for a Firestorm-style differential work? Not that one would fit in HardWired II, but it might work in something else potentially...
