can you replace the brushed motor with the brushless one when the brushed motor fails

Yes. The two brushed motors can later be changed for a single brushless. Will need a speed control also and about a 2150 kv brushless motor for 1/8 scale. At the time I researched, it was around $150 to do this.

Yes you may; however, keep in mind these motors include a starter winding which may be defective.

I was able to replace mine, bought a new motor. Surprised our only lasts two years. I own a restaurant and use it almost 3x a week and replaced it only after 5 years.

the motor with brushes has a break in time and if you don't follow directions motor will stop. Have you called customer service at Traxxas they are great brushless motor is the way to go for long life and dependability

I just mailed mine back to manufacturer. They are replacing my motor and hopefully cleaning it. I don't know if you've called them but they have excellent customer support. That's where I would start.

This version at the price it is asking for is most likely brushed. You can start there and if you want more speed/power traxas makes a conversion mount for a brushless motor. All that to say the brushless motor version of this usually starts in the 700$ range if not more.

The difference refers to the electric motor. The brushed motor is more inexpensive but has less power and the brushless motor is more reliable and faster but does cost more. For a beginner I would recommend a brushed motor but if you are willing to pay more, the brushless is better in the long run.

The key components you would replace, namely the blades, motors, and the entire "arm assembly" (which I generally replace) are interchangeable. I have one of each, and have maintained them each from one stash of parts.

I'd have to check my model, but it allowed the motor/fan to be replaced w/o having to remove the entire frame. Was quite simple to do.

It is a brushed motor. Some say brushless is superior, however the ESC in this car can only run brushed motors. If you upgrade the motor you will need to swap the ESC too. Those parts could be 50% the cost of the whole car.

I don't know if you still need it but I saw one that looks like MR400 series at Ebay. It seems the motor may be interchangeable. You can call the manufacturer to confirm.

Yes. You have to cut the wires off the old motor and solder them onto the new motor. It is not plug and play.

Mr. Loehrer, I could not help you here for I have not experience the replacing of the machine internal brush. But you might ask the machine manufacture: SKY ENTERPRISE . Wish I could be more helpful in finding answer to your question. Good luck, thank you

I ended up replacing the whole assembly. It just wasn't cost effective to just replace the motor
