Very interesting, thanks for posting.

"Carson 10t Brushless or Tamiya TZ 23t"

Are these two motors equivalent to one another?

How do each compare to other brushless/brushed classes?

[MonkeyNuts]

Yeah the Carson 10t BL and the TZ 23t Brushed are meant to be equal. The TZ motors which we have been running for the past 3 years seem to be about the same pace as a decent 27t Brushed motor. i would expect the Carson 10t to be somewhere just of the pace of a 13.5t Brushless.

The Carson Brushless is meant to be around £100-120, for both the Motor and ESC, so the ESC probably wont be of much quality. But you can run any ESC (SpeedPassion, Nosram, LRP etc)so you dont have to buy the combo.

The dates for next season are meant to be being announced soon

Super Stock should shape up into a decent class, several local-ish rounds this year too.
