Testing the NEW motor for Mudboss racing | Traxxas BL-2s Brushless

just hope the brushless motor can't be " tuned " like the brushed motor that is and was huge problem in the class the difference from one motor to a tuned motor is major.

I can visually see a difference in how it runs, he’s great and everything but that things so smooth running

How much is this system, and will the 12t motors still be able to be run with these motors and remain competitive until they are phased out. Most tracks run different gears, but im curious as to why they are phasing out 12t. It is such a competitive and affordable class, and now they will just drive the cost up. Smh. If they aren't as fast, why change over. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you allow two different gear ratios in the same class, somebody will be like, "Oh, i thought, i could use this, or that so i could remain competitive." Now we have to deal with another jump in racing cost, which will probably wind up driving some people away from it or getting out of it altogether. Hopefully, this is not the case, and these motors do prove to be a great thing moving forward. Im anxious to see the outcome and timeliness of this new adventure. If anything maybe it make the playing field even more level for all racers not matter what skill level they are on. Only time will tell.

not a fair test test should be on just motor and trans in car not on a track track and traction ,tires ,traffic battery ,driving lines can vary from one motor test to next ,set up ect can sway times kinda need to do somthing like a dyno type set up on tires to see rpm on them as to gear choice ie: 19/90 20/90 22/90 ect .....at least this would pull variances out of the test and make a more uniform test i believe but this is just my opinion either way i think the bl2 gonna be a cost effective way to enjoy the mudboss alot more in future

I think if you were able to do this kind of test with a larger number of motors of each variant, you will see that the brushless motors are more consistent. Given the added benefit that you will only have to replace the brushless motor when the bearings wear out, it brings the costs way down. I don't think you will see people buying 20 brushless motors to find 2 good ones.

So the normal deal, brushless more torque can run more gear faster lap times than 12t. This system may be closer to BIG BLOCK / 13.5 KV. Brushed 12T comparable to brushless with 3 teeth on brushless, just drop off of brushed motor is more? So a 22 on the BL2S would be proper is what I get from this test session. Lastly, agreed mixing the brushless / brushed motors together doesn’t seem sound, Sportsman - brushed, BL2S small block, 13.5 Big Block. Breaking in motors not sure why it has been a huge issue as it has always been part of brushed racing to include slot car racing. Great video thank you gentlemen.

Thank you for doing this kind of testing. I think one thing that helps the 12Ts in the corner is that the brushed motor have a bit of drag brake when off throttle where a brushed motor does not.

one problem its a new motor system and suddenly its a panic to start yet an new class of racing, isent it enough with all these stock classes of rc racing?

I would like to see a half dozen or so of those brushless motors tested on a dyno. I would like to know how consistent the performance is in them. Good testing video. Thank you Mark and Dave. Can't wait to race with you guys again.

I wonder if they are going to race the bl-2 system at motorrama

My mind is still blown with the brushed beating the brushless. Just shows how little I know about RC. 😢

700k coming soon 🔥❤🎉

🤩🤩👍👍🥳

Im convinced its a 2 pole motor. Its smooth, but doesnt have the punch of the 4 pole velinion

I’d like to see the two motors run with the same gearing for 50 laps each with a full battery for each. Then see the lap times on the last 5 laps and ending battery voltages and mah used. I think where the brushless will shine is at the end of a race. It’s not as though the brushless system is expensive. Just convert them all. Leaving the 12T as a beginner class still leaves beginners vulnerable to people selling them motors run in a jar of water for nearly the price of the brushless system.

My track runs open gearing so mixing might be alright

I think mudboss needs subclasses. Like 12t, stock bl2s, and maybe even 13t. Eventually 12t will be phased out due to motors wearing out and unavailability.

I just bought a BR 2s does the Motor require the same occasional oil drop?

How did he mount the esc to the left side of the stk mudboss

Thank you so much for this video. I shared it with my club here in South FL and we have made the decision to make the switch in the Mudboss Class. The guys at the front essentially buy new 12t motors all the time. Hard to compete for the podium if you don't. This system scraps all that and puts it more on the driver. Thank you again for this video, especially the hard data you collected. David Peek built my Mudboss and it got me on the podium quicker than I ever could have on my own.

Thanks really awesome review really appreciate it I'm headed to buy it for my rc slash now

Интересно как этот мотор поведёт себя в условиях off-road, когда в него будут лететь песок, камни и прочий мусор. Будут ли они оставаться там и изнашивать его или нет?

I'm wanting to build a backyard oval, do you happen to know the track dimensions for this track? This seems to be almost an ideal size, it's just really hard to gauge the dimensions from a video.

It needs a 3S for the big tire class I'm in because the tire's ar not G60 that's what I don't like.... A mods I will only run not X mods on G60 tires. IMCA rules on real spikes. Just saying what my full size car to 10/ scale car

So is the BL-2S a 13.5 motor or not? I’m trying to figure out if BL-2S is legal for 13.5 SCT class. There’s another video of a guy tearing one apart and he said it was 13.5 turns so why wouldn’t it be legal if not?

My club can't figure out if they're going off national rules or their f**** rules....
