Brushless verses Brushed Motors

[Shakey]

You don't stop wheel spin. Being able to spin your own wheels is a desirable property even with brushed. If you don't have the power to break traction you are far more prone to putting your motors into stall, which can be pretty fatal to brushless motors and ESC's due to their higher power tendencies. Plus it's kinda fun to drift around the arena! You do just have to be a bit less stick mashing when driving more powerful bots.

To add a bit more you don't actually get all that power out of a brushless motor unless you are going fancy with stuff likes VESCs. You overate them a lot to get a good level of power to use out of it despite this.

For batteries I run 6S for 50-60's with redbrick 200A esc's flashed with Simonk.
