so ashley lets ask you a few questions, the orion vortex is a good motor you say, what makes it better than a novak,lrp or others?, sintered rotor whats one of them then?, what particular motor from the vortex range shall i go for 4.5.5.5 etc. how much experience have you got and at what level with brushless? have you pushed neil cragg hard in qualifiying so giving your preferred brushless combo a good test or qualified in the bottom final with lots of DNF's?.
i am sorry to sound harsh and i am sure your advice is well intentioned, what you should have said is "i use XXX speedo with XXX motor in a XXX car and i find it very good its my first brushless system and i got it from XXX".
i do get annoyed when i see advice given to people who will act thinking it is good advice, when in reality its from a 10 year old who's only experience is running a tyco car around his bedroom.
(i am aware that ashley is not 10 and probably hasn't got a tyco)
