Team Brood 10.5 Eradicator review

[baconbits]

I was allowed to purchase this motor with the agreement to give a fair and honest review once I've really broken it in and put it threw it's paces.

**DISCLAIMER**
I am not a brood team driver, I am not compensated for this review in any way, this review is my honest opinion as a customer using a product.

I purchased a team brood brushless sensored 10.5 Eradicator motor (the blue one) back in july. I've put loads of hours and abuse threw this motor. (I am a crawler not a racer) my rig is called "spiderpig" I am sure some of you will have heard of it.

Spider pig. Edition 2.0 - RCCrawler

When I got the motor I had compared it with the other brushed motors I'd received from them



It might not look like much, actually in the looks department I felt some kind of lack luster. but after hooking it up I realized looks didn't matter.

I ran this motor in my rig at KOG (King Of Guru's) in a sorrca class3 event and pulled out 7th place. I know that's not entirely all due to the motor. But I can tell you it definitely didn't hurt me any. I've ran loads of motors in the past with loads of different speed controls to go along with them.

I am pushing this motor with 3s and a castle Mamba Max Pro (with the occasional 4s and 6s sled pulls and mud bogs)



most of them would have failed on me by now. I did at ECSC in August have slight issues with the water. But a dab of dielectric grease on the sensor port and all the issues went away. And I managed to pull off a 2nd place in class3 and 6th place in class2 (again I know the motor didn't do all the work, but if I'd had a lessor motor I might have had more issues or worse)



In short Iam extremely happy with the low end control, high end speed, and throttle response with this motor. I will be purchasing from team brood again in the future.

So on the Brood website they only sell these by KV. What KV is the 10.5?

How well does the drag brake work on that motor?

[baconbits]

I use minimal drag break on my setup. But the little bit I am using works very well.

Btw I brought home a 3rd place in PA with this motor yesterday. It just keeps on keepin on. And I love every minute of it.

I thought your axles pretty much negates a need for drag brake anyway?

It negatives the need for the drag break to keep me planted once stopped... but without drag set to stop the motor it will have a rolling effect due to the inertia of the motor spinning once the throttle is let off.
