yep, by setting the rules the way they need to be not to gain an advantage there may be some parts that you cant use.

before I set the final gearing for next season I'll get my own car setup so I'll have a very good comparison between the speed between the 2.

if i may recommend, check out the eco tune motor. i have yet to try this myself but others in our group have it and it performs nicely compared to higher rated Kv motors.

Only problem with the Kyosho Motors is that they aren’t drilled so you can’t use them with aftermarket mounts.

understood, you can buy from shops with added cost to drill/tap but that gets far above the cost for either PN or Atomic low Kv rated motor that is tapped already.

X-power motor mounts can be used with non drilled motors.

i'm sure the 3racing is a fraction of the cost of the x-power as well. how compatible is the 3 racing with standard disc dampers?

I've tried the 3 racing mounts that have the slides on both sides, I've never really been happy with that type as they are a bit of a pain to set the mesh and have the motor square with the diff. the kyosho R246 F1 Mount is tat way as well.

also why is Kyosho so proud of the mini-z brushless motors. they are almost as much a a 1/10th scale brushless motors.

anyone want to trade me a 17.5, 10.5 or a 5.5 brushless for a mini-z brushless motor.

In my country VE is gaining popularity, more and more racers are into it, once you get used to how it drives (ie: almost no drag from the motor) then you'll like it. Its easy for us because we only have open mod class here where any motor can be use for racing brush or brushless, for VE we usually use PN Brushless motor, and the current track record is hold using a VE chassis. I myself am driving a VE car, and I think this is the future of Mini Z, the ease of almost no maintenance of the motor, the consistency of its performance and no brush to be worried of worn out or break in really wins it for me.

Question, can you run a brush motor on a brushless chassis? I doubt it but in big scale at least a few years ago, some brushless speed controllers could run brushed motors as well as brushless. I have a castle creation and Novak brushless speed controllers that can run brushed motors.

If Kyosho has that feature in the firmware they aren't admitting to it or telling us how to do it. So at this point the answer is no, brushless only.

hmm... interesting... i remember answering no (brushless motors only for ve board) as well... but if there is one who can experiment wiring the brushed motor to the three wires or any combination thereof to the ve board without actually damaging it...

Wiring would be easy, no mystery there. There would need to be a way to enable the feature, and I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist.
