What's wrong with that ?

On his setup, since the motors are in seperate gearboxes, there would be no problem running dual brushless (other than needing two speed controls).

If I wanted a brushless 4x4 I think I would sell some stuff and buy an E-Savage. Shafty is where its at.

I still think you should upgrade to duel Brush-less.
