Brushed or Brushless.
Have built several models, some with brushed and some brushless. My experience is that for the slower, heavier vessels prefer the tractability of brushed. For planing hulls prefer the performance of brushless, preferably outrunners with the …

I am going to purchase a couple of brushless motors soon for my new project, the Slipways Tamar Class Lifeboat. There is a choice between In-runner and Out-runner. Are there advantages and disadvantages of each? I am considering two out-run …

… 00 to 21500 So which spec to use as a basis for choice of a brushless??? My choice would be a pair of 750 to 1000kV brushless. Prop size significantly affects current drain and speed. Often a bigger prop simply sucks more current with no pe …

Fully agree Haig My results converting the Sea Scout to brushless (1000kV) were very similar to yours. I junked the old 2 blade 40mm prop and Decaperm, put in a 1000kV brushless and a 30mm 3 blade prop and she now goes like stink (plenty of …

I have both Brushed and Brushless motors in my patrol boats and MTBs. I was somewhat misled by the catalogues quoting large Amp ratings and power outputs of the brushless motors. What I did was to mount an on-board video camera to focus on …

The other advantage of brushless that I forgot to mention is that the combined current draw of your two brushed motors will less that 10A. The two brushess will exceed 30A. This makes battery life much better with brushed and also fusing si …

In some respects you can think of a brushless motor as part way between a standard brushed electric motor and an I/C engine. The brushless can turn on and off like the electric motor, and is clean like the electric motor. It has a high powe …

As far as brushless motors go I wouldn't know. But I think that you would still need to experiment with various props sizes to get the best one.
