Default Brushless in a 1/10 buggy?

Hello, I just found this forum. I recently got my B3 buggy out of storage and getting back up and running. I was thinking about doing some upgrades. Would it hold up, or would it be worth putting in a brushless?

Thanks.

Yes it would. It will be a night and day difference. Some of my BL setups are to fast. It really is amazing how fast these things are with a good BL setup in them.

not just the speed, but also the increased runtime with most brushless systems, they are far more efficient, and they last you so much longer than brushed setups.

Considering they are probably the lightest R/C it would absolutely fly. And because it is a stealth tranny it can definately hold the power. It will probably be too much power to use, not that it's a bad thing.

Put a brushless in it and let her rip. Get a Mamba Max 46 or 57.. You will not be able to use the 77 t is just too much.
