can I upgrade this to a brushless motor?

I can't tell you if the factory esc will take it but I put a castle creations sct combo in mine for 100 bucks and the truck handles it very well.I bought this truck just to put brushless in because of the all steel gears It def. needs a wheelie bar tho. I am trying to put a bigger pinion on it and the 48p pinions I have don't fit right, so I found Redcat racing pinions online, haven't tried them yet. I love this truck !! Have Fun !!

Buy a brushless slash and it will be less expensive that way. This one is a brushed truck

Yes it is a direct brushless motor replacement for the 12 turn brushed motor in your 2wd Slash. You will also need to replace the XL-5 ESC with the VLX-3s ESC that comes with.

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

According to the Festool info it does not have a brushless motor. Having said that, I've used tools a ton and the only tools I've ever had to change brushes on are a couple of old 1970s routers I bought used. The Festool CSX is smooth as silk when running

You do need the following, A soldering or heat shrink to connect the esc to the batteryYou need a usb programer, if u want an easy way to program the esc without have to use the manual wayIf your upgrading from brushed to brushless, you gonna need to change pinion gear and spur gear to different size. Otherwise the esc will get hot and u have to wait for it to cool down.Lastly u need some type connector between esc and battery, i recommend ec5 connector for better performance

As far as know all electric motors have brushes. If you find what you are looking for, I would be interested also.

It should be brushless but make sure it has a Velineon motor and you will know for sure. I believe the brushed version had a Titan motor. It is a great truck. Since it is 2WD it rocks wheelies.

One of the most important item you want to match up is the amps..it's ok if the newer motor draws slightly higher ..but never less than your current motor..and it is agood practice to change capacitor at the same time..and remember the shaft will have to be cut to size as it will be longer than the one you have now...) no bigge)

Yep just make sure you don't have a brushless and you should be good to go, I also used it to upgrade an old analog control in a classic RC-10

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

Short answer is no. You could possibly hook up a variable speed controller but that might burn out the motor - haven't tried this.

Not guaranteed :( Check with Max Motors on Amazon, they may refer you the proper device

yes! You can use the small sevylor electric motor with the mount from sevylor.

I would say no for an upgrade. Unless your motor goes out or is making a lot of noise, it's probably not going to make a noticeable difference.

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