Re: Why Hasn't first gone Brushless?

I understand the cost Of it, not saying that they would need to be supplied in the KOP, but why not make them legal. I dont see anyone complaining about the cost of the cRio's....
They aren't cheap either but everyone benefits from them

At only 337watts the cim motor is not THAT powerful of a motor.. The Brushless system of my Brushless rc car puts out more then double that. If you wanted something comparable to the cim in brushless form, it would be half the size and the only thing needed to use it are shaft adapters which can easily be made.

As for price, Not every system you look at is that expensive

Take for example, that motor 30 bucks, and rated for double the power and more then the cim.

Before everyone jumps to conclusions about price and effectiveness, do some research- things are always not as they seem.
