Myth
#1 - You Only Need One Motor
False, you will still need several motors for each
application ou decide to use them in. No tuning
options to allow you to maxiumize performance. Its
easier to replace the whole setup.
Myth #2 - Motors Are Indestructible
False, brushless motors can still be susceptible
to shorts due to faulty winding, debris entering
the motor and heat. Magnets used on the rotor will
demagnetize from use.
Myth #3 - Torque and RPM Are The Same As Brushed
False, you will need to give up one for the other.
That is another reason why you need more than one
brushless motor.
Myth #4 - No Maintenance
False, cleaning, bearing replacement and magnet
zapping will still be needed for top performance.
Also, any damage to the motor can may cause the
motor to fail.
Myth #5 - Batteries Do Not Matter
False, batteries will play a bigger part since brushless
systems depend on high voltage, amps and super low
internal resistance to operate as a race motor.
Bottom line is that you will need to have quality
batteries.
Myth #6 - All Speedos Can Be Programmed For A Level
Playing Field
False, again at this point batteries will make a
huge difference. Good quality packs will be essential.
In the end, a Team Driver will still have the advantage
due to speed controller programming knowledge, access
to unpublished technology and the ability to jump
the regulator that restricts the amp flow, undetectable
traction control, drivers will need a laptop to
have their own secret profiles set, special developed
FET's etc. This leaves the average racer out in
the cold. It is much easier to just tech a "spec"
brushed motor.
Myth #7 - Brushless Performance
There will still be better motors than others due
to manufacturing tolerances. No two speed controls
for standard motors work the same and they have
been making these for 25 years longer. Remember
the price on a brushless motor when you have to
replace it because it does not perform as claimed.
There is no way to increase performance other than
the speed control, out of abilities of the normal
racer. Tweaking and tuning your motor and race car
will be a thing of the past. Race winners will now
be decided by who's motor is the fastest out of
the package. If its not yours, you may as well stay
home and run by yourself in your driveway, since
there is zero you can do to improve the performance.
