I've got this split 280 that I still haven't decided to throw in the trash or upgrade the motor to something usable yet.

I don't know anything about brushless set-ups other than they're more energy efficient than brush-type motors, and I think I believe all of them need an additional controller. (Is this in addition to a speed control w/BEC? -- not sure)

So, assuming I take the plunge, any recommendations on brand, size, models, etc, as well as power source (currently I use a 6-cell 720mAh AAA NiMh pack)

Thanks in advance,

Roger
