brushed motor which would bring equivelancy between 4 cells and 1 cell lipo.
The club where i race is looking for a brushed motor which would bring equivelancy between 4 cells/silver can and 1 cell lipo cars.
At the moment there ar those with good cells and all the kit. and those who want to use single lipos but the power is down because of the lower voltage. What motor will best level the playing field?

We run a 20t Saturn motor with a 2s Lipo the Mardave G2 Motor actually seems faster but don`t seem to last as long.
I thought most cubs went from G2 4 cell to 1s Lipo Brushless Have you thought about a 19t Checkpoint money motor, rebuildable and you can pick them up quite cheap as everyone has gone brushless. |

I was runing G2 4 cell but to be quite frank all the flaffing around charging discharge then balance got right up my snout now run 1s lipo with gtb2 esc and exceed 13.5 brushless just as quick if not quicker no flaffing about more relaxed time in the pits and i was a die hard brushed supporter but times move on cells are on the slow death list.
so in answer to your question only one way to go 13.5 brushless gtb2 the way to go and you dont need a booster with the gtb!!!! |

well.. the club (indoor winter season) has started doing mardave.
It was only a TC club. Last year we started doing Mardave. The TC rules changed a bit last year for TC (now using rubber tires and additive) which has added more to the cost of TC and narked off a few folks who are now trying Mardave instead. There are a few that have all the regular Mardave kit, i.e cells, chargers for cells etc. and everything is working fine for them. And there are those with modern Lipos and lipo chargers who are new to Mardaves. Some, including myself have gone out and got cells and are now narked x2 because we are going much slower than the fast bunch. My cells seem to be super crappy and gave up at the end of last year because I couldn't finish a race. We, the club, figured that if we can find a motor to go with a 1s lipo that gives the same performance as 4cells and a silver can then we can all compete in our club championship. Problem is, I don't have piles of motors I can test etc. I am hoping this is a problem that has been solved already and there is a convenient solution so everyone can compete without being in differing classes. Running brushless isn't an option nor is 2s lipo. Edit... I said running brushless isnt an option.. maybe it is. it depends on the cost. Im going to direct my fellow club members to this thread and see what the reaction will be.. hopefully my club can settle on something sensible as Im sure folks just want to race, compete, and do it hassle free.

As per my post, I reckon a
19t Checkpoint Money Motor & 1s Lipo would Equal 4 cell Mardave G2 motor Alot of the 12th circuit boys have have these kicking around |

I cannot see where this is going 1's lipo and a brushed motor, dont forget that some of you will
A have to change your esc for a lipo compatable one B have to fit a booster as a 1's lipo is a lower voltage. C and still brushed motor. this to me is a no brainer just go brushless and if you are a die hard brushed racer the GTB2 will run lipo and brushed. then there is the com truer that you may need to get the very best from your brushed motor. I was a die hard brushed racer and would not budge to the move over to lipo brushless but ask any racer who has made the move and they will all say its the best thing ever they have done brushed is the dark ages the sport has moved on. |

i have just sold my mardave but my girlfriend still races hers in the brushed class at are club,and she would of qualified 2nd overall with her 4cell,silver can car against the brushless cars, which are club allows up to 2s lipos. the way i see it, if its a basic budget class it should relate to it, electrics wise to. |

we all no where this will lead lol back to the brushed/brushless war lol i do agree we will be all going on to lipos in the mardaves but while we have good cells knocking about we will stick with the NI-MHs. the way are club is, anything that ist basic, ie brushless, lipos modifed motors would go in the brushless class, then it just leaves are g2,saturn 20s brushed to run with other cars with 4cell NI-MHs |

so why do you embrace the use of 4 cell g2 so why do people want to run 1's lipo with silver can bit like owning a porche but fitted with a mini engine. Again i was one who was stuck on runing 4 cell old school g2 but boy when you change to brushless 13.5 1's lipo i know what i would keep now and it aint four cells. to many people are stick in the mud about Mardaves embrace the changes cus they are on the way this time next year 4 cell brushed g2 will be like lord lucan feeding sugar cubes to shergar!!! |
