    Status: offline     		ok, i just got my mini t on friday, and i'm already interested in going brushless. i got through the first 10 pages of this thread, and noticed people saying that to go brushless you have to change out all the esc/servo/rx.... is this still true even on new ones? i've got the mini - baja RTR, and it lists everything as being 3 wire for ease of upgrading...

    so do i still need to get all new stuff just to go brushless? i'd just hate to spend 2/3 the cost of the car on a brushless system, just to spend another 2/3 the cost for esc/servo/rx... that would put me close to $4-500 for a mildly modified car, and i dont even race, this is just my toy for when i sit home w/ the kids during the week.

    I believe you can reuse the esc and servo with the baja, but you need a brushless speed controller. A full mamba package motor + esc is $90 at b-p-p. The original mini-t had a propietary 4 wire servo, and a combined esc/receiver - so all had to be replaced on going brushless.

    looks like they're up to $95 now. I'd suggest the 5400 or 6800.

    Status: offline     		ok, cool. what you suggest for power as far as Ni-MH goes? i know too little about lipo, but what i do know is that they are pretty expensive and very dangerous.

    how would my stock 1100mah 7.2 pack do with one of those brushless setups?

    Status: online     		It wouldn't be that good. The Elite 1500 is the best Ni-Mh cell out now IMO. You should also consider A123 batteries. I fried my HS-55 servo and broke a c-hub trying to pop a turnbuckle off. (I Feel stupid)

    Status: online     		My stock motor also gets very hot with the 12T pinion on there. I'm getting a Reedy 17T soon and what would be good gearing to start out with. I'm going to use a DD slipper so I only have a 60T spur option.
