The ESC should just plug right in, however, any particular reason you want to go with the Brama 10B? This chassis is very entry level and does not hold up well to brushless power. You will definitely have problems with parts breaking if you go this route.

Don't get a Brama. Do yourself a favor.

Tamiya DF-02 100000000000000000% better RC than the Brama 10b, and if you upgrade the axle's, and diff out-drives it can handle BL power easy.
In the other post you did I replied with pics of my brama after $100 in upgrades, and 5 mins of BL power...
The brama is the biggest Piece Of Crap HPI ever released

You honestly cannot compare the Vorza with the Brama. No one in their right mind will recommend the Brama 10B for any reason. You are comparing an entry level 1/10 scale brushed buggy with an 8th scale brushless 6S capable buggy. If you want to stay HPI, these are your only choices and the Vorza is by far the better choice.

only thing I'd compare the brama to is a cheap $50 tyco RC, and sadly the Tyco would probably win in durability, speed, and probably even replacement parts

If your looking to get a 1/10th scale hpi go with the cyber 10B not the brama, I'd compare the brama to the losi strike, meaning the brama worst buggy made and strike worst sct made, just my opinion....

If you want a 1/8th buggy from hpi the vorza is a good choice for bashing but not so for racing.....
