You have to put a castle creations mamba monster 2 with esc. Then you will have a brushless motor setup.

This is the brushed motor, it's been listed wrong. Look at the number of wires on the motor to determine if it's brushed or not. 3 wires= brushless 2 wires = brushed

I don't know because I plugged it up when I first got it to try it out, then packed it away for a few months. The next time I plugged it in, the motor would not run and I had to throw it away. I think it is not worth buying (in my opinion).

As long as it's a 20 volt...brushless or not. A 20 volt is a 20 volt. Hope this helps.

Yes the steering servo is, but since it comes with a brushed motor it is not, unless you upgrade to a brushless veleniom one by traxxas , worth the money!!!

Yes it comes with 2 batteries. No they are not Gmax. No the motor is not brushless.

It is not a brushless motor hopefully they well release one that way some time

Yes, it is brushless. Buy 11.1v 3s lipo batteries to fully unleash its power

Surprisingly yes. The motor seems fine. Every other part of this machine is junk.

Not this motor. This motor is used to actuate a boiler water valve. Come on!

I do not believe it is brushless. Check the parts replacement page from dewalt here: http://servicenet.dewalt.com/Products/Detail?productNumber=DCF883L2 The first replacement part is the brush ring assembly. Despite this, I own this tool and love it.

No you can not run the brushed motor with the velineom power system it wont work, ive asked at my hobby store....as far as a replacement they make rebuild kits for the the brushless motor :-)

Save your money to go to brushless. It just ran a little bit better than the stock brushed motor.

I use it to cut zinc for stained glass. I would say it is pretty noisy. I'm not sure about the brushless motor. The motor is enclosed.

Brushless motors have more power. Also you don't have to replace the brushes when they ware out over time.
