There are a couple of threads discussing new ESC and Motor rules for the upcoming summer GT12 season. We are adopting the BRCA rules for GT12 cars. So 13.5 turn motor with 1 cell lipo or 21.5t with 2s lipo, most people have adopted the 21.5t, me included.
Previously for Mardaves, we didn't had any rules and so we ended up with a mix of brushed setups, typically using HPI 20 turn saturn motors and budget brushless setups such as the hobbywing ezrun systems, but there were lots of other setups too.
I've used brushed and brushless and found the 13 turn ezrun to be a good system, however its a small track and its not just about speed - acceleration, tyres and gearing are just as important. I dont think I ever ran the 13t ezrun with 100% throttle. Slower smoother cars are always in the mix with faster cars.
As most people are now running 21.5t setups, the new rules have definitely led to closer racing in recent times
