I wanted to upgrade to a brushless motor considering there are some disagreements with the power of the brushed. any recommendations on motor and esc?

Before you go to that much trouble , Try A different Prop , I did that on my P-51 ,Wow What A difference ,I also have the same model as you & have not flown it as of yet , Try U Tube for advice , on Eng Change I really don't know . Dennis

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.

Thanks for the inquiry. The VXL models come with brushless motors.Best regardsRichard

17 turn brushed motor. I got two full races (includes heats) out of it before it burned up on me. I was running 2s lipos.

U need more than motors I run brushless 1000 kv six from it but the new model is k2.5 with LCD display much easier setup hope this helps but as for motor size anything your esc can handle the board will work very painful programming process if your new

this one is a brushed motor, they do also have brushless options for a higher price on amazon.

The ESC does support 3s, but most of the vids on youtube that speak about recommend against it. You'll be replacing parts alot more frequent if u do...i hav two venom 2000mah 2s lipos in mine and thats plenty wheel poping power...even thow i hav geared down mine. The largest 2s that will fit, according to the forums is 2400mah. And if u decide to go 3s, the largest that fits is 1400mah. I hav not and will not use 3s on mine. This is for the brushless version...the brushed, stick to nimh...lipos will burn out ur motors faster than nimh...check out youtube and forums to get better info

Why do people (like the ones below) bother to answer when they don't even understand the question? Anywho, while Ventech doesn't specifically say so on their website I'm fairly positive this is a brushed motor. The reason why is because they also sell a variable speed controller to be used with the fans and it states "This router speed controller works with any universal AC/DC brush-type motor". Since they don't sell any other speed controllers, and due to the price of the fan, I doubt it's brushless.

Yes that's how it becomes a vxl. You'll have to get a new ESC as well. A three wire ESC for brushless motor.

Get a 13turn 540 can brushed motor for it from Amazon it's like $20 it will have a ton of tourqe and speed and be able to snap out of tough spots.

Brushless all they way. Change out the bearing tho the stock one go out and mess up the motor

No it does not come stock with a brushless motor you can buy a after market brushless motor for around 170$. The brushless motor will improve your preformance by a lot. I've had my stampede for about four years and I'm not very pleased, and I would look at a Traxxas rustler, or losi mini eight-t. If you go on YouTube there are tons of videos about both and will answere any further questions. (:

I say brushless they have more power and have great take off power with the right esc and battery (I advise lipid battery) I've had my volcano epx pro for about 2 weeks and I'm impressed by it factory but I already upgraded my motor, esc and my gears and I can say mine runs about 65mph and I love it Great beginner rc

yes I believe the motors are brushless. I dont know if you can upgrade the battery

Hello diana, the $230 traxxas bandit does NOT have a brushless motor but it can be upgraded to the brushless system for an extra $180! I would play with the RTR version that goes 35 miles per hour first then upgrade to the brushless 70 miles per hour which i believe is extremely fast! Especially for a younger child. Im 40 years old and 35 miles per hour is just fine for a little exitement without smashing or tearing the car up. Hope this helps!

I have both, and the brushless is more responsive, longer run time and less noisy. The brushless motor does away with the arcing that brushes have as they wear. Brush style motors require turning the brushes or replaceing them periodically to keep them in contact.

Anything new is going to be a brushless motor. I would compare the emax with another traxxas truck the Revo. The Revo seems to be more stable for cornering. Check out Lipo batteries too, they last longer and makes the truck way faster.
