Fun thread!!! Just got done reading everything. I have a 'pede that for fun I tried to turn into a racer. lowered and widened, with a Novak ESC and 12t race motor got me to about 35 mph (just a guesstimate, never had it clocked). Got to admit, I am curious how one could modify a brushed esc to power a brushless motor... The esc in a brushed system is practically a potentiometer, regulating the power supplied to the motor. In a brushless system (sensorless), the esc actually 'reads' the voltage generated by the motor as it turns. This is so it knows which wire to send current to, and how long, at any given time. It would seem counterintuitive to be able to use a strictly brushed esc to run a brushless, being as how they operate in a completely different fasion.
