I think the only mod I had to make on my TC3 to make it work was dremel one small spot to clear the wires comming out from the back of the motor. Nothing else.
If you are talking about running in Modified classes with a BL it will not keep up simply because it does not put out as much power as a very well maintained top end mod motors. It also could be the way the BL was geared. Novak BL's make tons of power in at a lower RPM than mod motors so it should be geared with a large pinion to keep it into the powerband. The huge benefit of the Novak BL though is NO maintence.. NO turning coms, no changing brushes, no motor cleaning. just drop the batteries in and go. are you planing on racing this? if so I'd forget the BL and get good electronics and a couple good 27t motors and concentrate on setup and smooth driving in the stock class and work your way up. If its just for bashing around go for it with the BL. 1:1.. 01 Z28 Camaro A4 Sure.. its stock. 1:8's.. K3, Inferno GT, and a straight line beater car 1:18.. RC18t Mamba and 3s lipo

The 8 and 9 turn motors would be the Modified class that Six was talking about. Check to see if they have a "Stock" class at tinley, which is 27t motors. It will be a much better starting block for anyone first getting into racing, because it is slower, and gives you a chance to get accustomed to racing. Also, with the Stock class, the cars would be a little more even, it would come down to the Driver as to who wins. Starting into racing, running a LOW turn motor, can get VERY frustrating, very fast. The car will be too fast for a beginner racer, and actually much harder to control. Also, the lower turn motors, will need more maintenance. Look into investing in a decent com Lathe, and keep backup brushes handy at all times.

ah...found this board.
I regularly race at Tinley, Trackside, AJ's, and wherever else there is electric TC. Not sure if I met any of you but I always run the Open TC class at Tinley. If you have electric TC questions I might be able to help. note: - There is only one electric class at Tinley....Open Class. - Even for a beginner a stock motor would be reeeeally slow at Tinley. The straight is almost 140-150ft long and a stock motor would just take forever to finish. If you are running outdoors and want something a little more mild then a Mod just run a 19T. - Overall the Novak Brushless is pretty fast and efficienty. For someone new this is nice because it has the speed and you have zero maintenence. Just gear down so you car can't hit super speeds.

So far that is my plan. I just raced the Summer Sizzler at Trackside so I need to convert my cars over from the indoor setup. I usually pit with Jimmy Stegan under an American Flag canopy if anyone needs help.
