Hey guys,

Im planning to up grade to brushless.I found this and i would like your opinion if this is a good combo for drifting.

Please let me know,

Thanks,

I can't access that link, but is it the one with the 4300kv motor, 35A ESC, and program card?

Because I have one of them, and I love it. And you'll always know it's not a knock off like the Yeah Racing systems, which are basically Hobbywing systems painted black.

Oh, and if you can afford it, try to get a ESC with a higher number of "A", not that there is anything wrong with this one, but the higher the "A" value, the ESC will be able to handle faster motors. For example, 60A ESC... That's pretty good.

@Chardiboi, Well that is one way of looking at it. But if you look at it that way, then isn't everything a rebadged version? Like the fake Pro-D and the real Pro-D. It's just a difference of colour and the brand name, apart from that, they are the same.

Anywho, driftfreek, if you do have the money, get a Novak like Chardiboi said. Those systems have all you need. Keep in mind, the Hobbywing motors, and all the rebadged versions of it, are sensorless. Biggest difference between sesorless and sensored is the response time.

Sensored motors are said to respond quicker, like when you start moving from a stand still.

Also, it's said that they have more predictable low speed and breaking.

But I haven't ever used a sensored motor, I just read about the differences when I purchased my brushless. So you might want to confirm the differences by talking to someone who has actually used both.

@Abdul
Sir Richard does have a point, Yeah Racing is an established company.
Making "knock offs" would serious ruin their name.
EZrun may have had the BL system first, but that doesn't mean others can't do that same.
Especially from a 3rd party company like Yeah Racing that aims to help those who have a tight budget.
So I think your choice of word (knock off) is a bit inappropriate.

@Lucas
The EZrun BL system is proven to be good.
Bad side is that it's a Sensorless BL. Mainly meaning it 'stutters' at low RPMs.
Precise throttle control may be a bit harder to achieve.

If you're looking for a long-term BL system, I'd prefer to go with Novak.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your replies,The thing is i am really tight on my budget so thats why i though of goin for the Ezrun BL system.SO now i am confused,whether to go for for this because it so falls in my budget.And also i dont know what to go for, a sensorless BL or not.

Can you please reply whether to go for this or no,

Thanks again,
Lucas

yup. . . go for it dude. . . it's value for money. . . .

I have 2 of it, a 9t and a 13t. and i'm happy with it. .

And then maybe soon if you have enough budget, you can get the high end ones like novak. .

If you're in a hurry to get a BL. That's a great choice.

But if you can wait a bit long. A sensored BL system would be better.

it's basically a feature, which can make you adjust the performance of your motor according to your preference. there's a lot of options you can tweak, like how you want the motor to go once you pull the throttle, and how you want it to stop, or if you'll use lipo, you can set the esc to automatically cut off to a certain voltage so as not to damage your lipos, and a lot more. all of the options will be explained in the manual that comes with the unit and its user friendly and easy to understand for beginners. unlike the other brushless systems wherein, you need to do "combo" presses on the set-up button of the esc to adjust.

@Chardiboi and Josh, I guess you guys are right. Don't think it's right to call it a knock off.

@Driftfreek, if you're in a hurry, go for it, it's a great system for a great price. But if you're not in a hurry, why not wait until you can buy yourself a Sensored system?

And about the PC part, I think program cards are better, they are smaller and more portable. You'll need your laptop/PC/Mainframe (lol) with you at Area 2 when you want to make adjustments, I keep my program card in my tool box - convenient.

So yeah, it all depends on how long you'll have to wait before you can afford a sensored system. If it's a long time, and you NEED one, then go for the HW, if you can wait, then go for the Novak/sensored.

dont know much about branded and so so. but i do know one thing...

told you so... copying infos from other sites is a knock off.

@ lucas... i suggest you save enough money and go for a novak bl system... its moneys worth
