What is better brushed or brushless motors?
In summary, brushless motors are better than brushed units. Users can take advantage of reduced maintenance, improved efficiency, reduced heat and noise. The brushless motors are synchronous units with one or more permanent magnets. Power tools with a brushless motor are now considered high-end products.
Can you run a LiPo battery on a brushed motor?
It’s fine to put a 2S LiPo battery into a brushed SC10 It would be the same as if you were running a 7 cell NiMh pack. …

ESCS for brushed model airplane motors are getting harder to find these days as everyone goes “brushless”. The fact that Turnigy is still making these–or making them available is good news. I use mine with some Speed 400 class motors flying in a competition class that requires the use of brushed 6V Speed 400 motors.
Do you need a programming card for turnigy ESC?
The Turnigy ESC has jumpers that allow you to set the low voltage cutoff for either LiPo or NiMH or NiCad batteries, and also to turn the prop brake on and off. You don’t need a programming card, nor do you need to mess around trying to set those features with your radio.
