    I actually thought of doing this when my trx-4's esc went out but didn't do it because when I wanted to do it, Traxxas did not release it at the time. Now seeing this video I might just do it. It seems like a really good idea. It seems like a good idea because you don't have to worry about the brushed motor locking up.

    I swapped my trx 4 with the brushed motors you’d find in the slashes. It went a lot faster but only lasts a half hour and motor is cooked! Brushless is the way to go.

    I did that to a Summit. I purchased it for my son- in - Law used. I changed the brushed over to brushless. I didn't use a Traxas motor and ESC for the same reason, reverse motor. It runs well. I did have to replace the rear transmission because it blew out. I found it full of sand from the previous owner. I will not be changing my TRX4 Bronco to brushless simply because it is a crawler and that is all I use it for.

    I have a castle copperhead 10 setup with the castle 3200kv motor in my trx4 high trail. It’s fast but also a sensored setup so I can go extremely slow. Plus I can plug it in and change settings anytime I feel I need to right from my phone. I really can’t complain about it at all, it’s a great setup for crawling.

    Hey Mark. Good video but I'm not sure about the way you calibrated That speed control. if actually it's getting full throttle or not. If i'm not mistaken reverse speed as a little slower than full speed. I'm just not sure the way you Calibrated the radio by pushing reverse instead of forward and forward instead of reversed if that actually truly gave you full power.
