yeah i've discovered this already and i'm bumed out about having to pay 34$ for a new bat...oh well. thanks though!

now as for those who told me that brushless on a tt01 is overkill....YOU CAN NOT BE MORE WRONG!
it's a boost in power but it's nothing overwhelming. it's much faster than the stock motor and is quicker than my nitro but top speed wise, the BL tt01 and the VoneS are pretty much even. i love the speed and quickness of the tt01 but having to charge batteries is a huge bummer for me as i'm used to the fuel and go of the nitro.

drifting wise, on the BL tt01 i have ran ABS and tamiya drift compound tires. the abs is fun with all that power but once i tried the drift rubbers it was a whole new experience! i could drift longer distances at faster speeds with them and going faster is so much of a rush!
i don't think i will use abs again on the BL tt01

as for the nitro i have not tried the drift rubbers yet but abs drifts similar to pvc (the engine revs it's head off)

i think my designated drifter is now the BL tt01 and the VoneS will be my speed demon.

in conclusion:

thank you to all for you input. i'm completely satisfied with the brushless up grade.
