|  Brushed or brushless for my Gmade R1?
Hey guys, just took delivery of a used Gmade R1... well... when i say used the last owner had built it but never ran it. It came with a 23T Tamiya Suoer Stock motor & i'm also using my old HPI Wheely King radio gear to run it. Basically i want to swap out the existing motor for something with a bit more torque & that i can run a bit slower with. So long story short i'm unsure whether to go for brushed or brushless? I like the look of the Tekin FXR set up maybe in a 45/55T? But i've also been offered a Novak Goat brushless setup at a good price & to be honest i don't know enough to pick which one is better. Pros/cons etc. So wondered if you guys can pass on some knowledge and tell me if one is better than the other & why etc?? Cheers Paul. |

I'm running a Tekin 13.5 brushless. It is one of the most fun rc cars I have to drive. It is fast and it crawls.

I had a 14t on it and dropped down to a 12t. It crawls pretty good, but it hauls ass realy good  I would say 20mph. I have LLC for crawling the R1 is for just having fun and it is very fun with a 13.5 in it. |

This is my R1 running standard gears, HH 500 puller 11Turn on 2S 1600mah and CC side winder. Great wheel speed and crawls really well to boot.  I think you get the point about wheel speed. The Mamba Max will be fine for a HH motor it is the big brother to the CC SW Last edited by Highlucks; 08-17-2010 at 08:33 PM. |

Can you tell me which make the wheels you're running are? Really like the look of those, wouldn't mind sourcing a set for myself. | |

I bought them second hand on here. They are made by Eritex. Either Comp heavies or comp solids. Great wheel for a great price. Check their web site. Also that motor, esc and Battery combo can all be bought from Holmes Hobbies. |

I could not give you a speed in MPH or KPH but in the picture above. it only had a one metre run up and managed to launch like that.
