Default New brushless system recommendations needed

Iadmit I am somewhat new to the brushless cars, been playing with brushless airplane systems for years but my cars have always been the old brushed motors.
Ineed some opinions on what aftermarket brushless system would be appropriate for what cars. Novac, Tekin, Castle?
I have used Castle and Tekin before but not their new stuff.

Your question is too large... Be more specific.

Since there's hundred of RC cars on the market and many brushless kits available, there's thousand of answers waiting out there...

The Castle creations sidewinder is a good rated system. My wife put one in her HPI blitz and its like lightening.

How about the Volcano EPX , anybody switch it over to brushless? Isee some systems out there that are supposed to be a direct swap out for brushed 540 but Idont know what specific motor ESC combos would be appropriate.

Castle SV2 4900Kv system or Sidewinder 4900Kv system. The sidewinder is 2Cell lipo and the SV2 system is up to 3 Cell lipo.

Having used Castle ESCs and receivers on my planes I would probably go with them. Thank You for your assistance.
