G2 and 13.5 lipo????????

I've been reading the posts on another topic and it was a heated debate about G2 and 13.5 lipo.

I am new to Mardaves but seem to get round the track ok with a 15.80 lap time and a pritty steady 16 seconds for the 5 mins race so I would love to do the test on brushless and G2 on my Friday practice day and see the lap times.

If I put a 13.5 lipo in my car and then swap it to the G2 for testing then the chassis is exactly the same so the test would be very accurate.

Just need a brushless setup but mayb after christmas as Santa may get me one but I've not been a very good boy this year so mayb not

Unless anyone wants to setup a day for testing this out and we can all be there and have some tech fun building and stripping the cars.

changed my time from 15.30 to 15.80

15.30? 15.80 If I remember a thought I had the other day is if you can't loosen your diff off to give the car abit more steering then you maybe better off with a solid axle as they weigh less and less revolving mass = faster excelleration.

I wouldn't say "heated" simply healthy.. if people are going to make claims & post them on the forums, at least back them up with concrete facts & hard evidence rather than speculation & personal opinion

to be fair if you are doing a test, then all the variables have to be eliminated as much as possible to make it completely fair i.e. same car, same driver, same chassis etc but also things like if you fit new tyres on the 1st run, you need to fit new tyres on the 2nd run & use the same cells with the same charge in them etc etc

edit.. with regards my comment "cells with the same charge", i do mean of course using properly matched cells - i.e. not cells that are likely to dump or affect the outcome because the cells aren't balanced or properly matched.

Thats the test I would do as it's my chassis and my charger/cells and tyres so it would be a fair test.

Also the pinion and spur are the same and bodyshell as that would make a difference aswell.

To me it seemed to be heated dude not so healthy

From my short time with the Mardaves I have noticed the brushless has more torque out the corners than the G2 motor and I can say this as I've used both to back my claim.

Also I've seen a mardave brushless wheelie of the line and I ask anyone to try this with a G2!!!

You can make a g2 wheelie too I will show you
The brushless in theory and spec wise should have more tourque even if the top speed is the same.
