Default Indoor motor

Need a bit of advice, whats gonna be a good BRUSHED motor for the winter at Os? Am thinking an 11x1 might be a little too much.

I prefered a ten double. Down to what you prefer. Major torque use a ten, more of a relaxed accelaration and more top end use a 13d

Have you raced indoors at Oswestry before ?
If not, then its not that big and you can get upto 30 laps in the 6 min heat (depending upon track layout).
I run a 10.5 brushless with lipo and its quick enough.
I have run a 6.5 and spent most of the time trying to keep the car in a straight line.

Phil, Its been a while since I ran indoors, I assume its similar to how frodsham was back in the late 90's since that was when I ran indoors last.

Think for safety I will stick somit slower in, just until I have seen layouts grip etc.

Carpet, unless the moths have eaten it over the summer. With patches of old wooden floor where the carpet is not long enough.
