Building a proper SCALE lunchbox or VW T1 samba kombi
rcb1138 replied to WillyChang's topic in General discussions
I was just thinking of that the other day. I'd love to see a scale version like a hi lux. -

Thank you for the replies! That clears up a lot for me. -
Will brushed motors and ESC's dissappear?
rcb1138 replied to mynameisdannyowens's topic in General discussions
Hello all. New here, obviously. Brushed motors will be around for years to come as they are more durable and simpler. As far as hobby application however, I do think they will be relegated to collector status. I would equate brushed motors to the Chevy 350. Though there are more advanced motors, the 350 is as tough as nails (and I'm a Mopar guy) and simple, producing good results. Because it does its job well, they will be in use for many years yet to come. Lipos require too much attention for them to package with consumer RC products. Nimh will likely be around for the imaginable future. Super simple to maintain and more stable than Li-Poly. There are other chemistries that aren't as volatile. I think LiFe has more consumer possibilites than Li-Poly.
