can some one please confirm that a brushless is lighter than a brushed motor and how much heavier (roughly) a spashett 12 x 1 is in comparision to a mamba max 7700kv motor?

cheers

before i got into the racing scene i just wanted the fastest car possible,so i bought adfo3 and mamba max and max amps lipo.cut a long story short i now run ft b4 with 12 turn spashett etc blah blah

anyway i blew mine up and its coming back from repair soon. i did put it in b4 but it was so bloody fast i couldnt drive it!even with extra weight in front it would whellie and flip and take off at about 50 +

subsequently the lipo has gone

was wondering i remember the mamba motor being lighter

as b4s like a bit off weight in rear was wondering whether even more would be needed to compensate? cheers
