Hi, as many of you, I'm looking to take the brushless route. It will be for a X-5 and later a B4.
It's for racing only so I'm looking for very good power control, I guess it will be a sensored one. Probably 5.5 and 6.5 for 4WD, 6.5 and 7.5 for 2WD.
I didn't considered the GM system as it seems to let the magic smoke go out very easily...

A friend of mine, GM driver, used (smoked) 4 units on 4 runs !
The Mamba seems to be too brutal/wild, and nobody has seen the Tekin one yet.
GTB pro's : reliable, reverse drive possible (good for trainings), easy to find cheap
GTB con's : massive with his fragile fan, seems to NEED a fan for anything more than a 6.5, can make some glitches
LRP/Nosram pro's : looks more efficient (no fan required unless you use a 3.5), more adjustable (punch control mainly), some says it's smoother, looks better to me
LRP/Nosram con's : no reverse (why ? It's only a software thing), maybe less reliable (at least for the old versions)
Those are only bench and internet rumors, so I'd like to have your advices, specially if you have own both !
Thx
