Not me...But I can feel some people are not too happy about the motor issues in the recent drift event...
Some are saying there's an distinct advantage in using brushless for drifting over brushed...Maybe, but this is an unrestricted drift event...People are not restricted in what motors/batteries they can use...Of course I use whatever to my advantage...
Batteries: Comparing a lipo to a NiMH...Yes, Lipo have continuous punch throughout, while NiMH is only punchy for the first few minutes in touring...But one thing they didn't consider is, drifting uses less power, hence the punch can last longer like 10-15min...And the drift rounds are only 4-8laps at most...Which is at most 5min...
Who has complained of lack of punch in drift competitions before!!
Lipo being lighter than NiMH is also an advantage, this I cannot argue...But for some cars, being lighter on one side is being unbalanced!! So this is an disadvantage instead!! As such, the weight advantage between NiMH and Lipo is somehow negligible for drifting...
Motors: Brushless and brushed...I only see slight advantage of BL or brushed...A less friction and maintenance motor are the ONLY advantages...I see people associating brushed motors as anything higher than 23T stock and brushless as modified motors (13T etc)...This is crap...
I can always use a brushed motor thats around 11T to perform exactly like my 6.5R...So stop the crap with brushless and brushed...
This is drifting, not touring...A faster motor doesn't guarantee you a faster drift car...
I can see afew getting a brushless system after this event's results...
