:bow:That looks like a modded Tamiya Hilux. Real nice find! I don't think I am going to continue to hunt for a Hilux any more. The price is not so bad for what it is
Brushless is definitely the way to go. With brushless you get much better low end throttle response, tons and tons more low end torque, along with a lot of wheelspeed. I have a Novak goat brushless system in my crawler that I built last month and I'm going to have an even better brushless system in my comp crawler build that I'm just getting started on. You have to realize that these systems have so much torque, if you bind the wheels up, it will actually snap steel dogbones. That gives you an idea how much torque we're talking about. I've got that much low end torque yet I still have enough wheelspeed to drift on slick surfaces.
