Convert old E-revo to brushless
I have a E revo that i bought 2 years ago with the dual titan motors, and i would like to upgrade to brushless. I wanted to buy the castle creation motor and esc and i was wondering if i needed anything else

iirc, you'll need a new motor plate. Traxxas part 5690x. Hot Racing makes a pretty nice one with heat sinks on it.
Optional, but recommended, upgrade the 14mm hubs to 17mm hubs.
If you're gonna be bashing with it, I highly recommend playing around with the Castle Link programming. (Comes with the Motor/ESC Combo) Dial back the punch control to the recommended bash settings. Reduces strain on the driveline, without sacrificing power.

I don't remember off the top of my head.
But when you run the Castle Link program, it gives you suggested settings for each field in the tabs.
The only one I set up was punch control, and I can only assume it has helped quite a bit. I've yet to break any driveline components, and I'm thrashing it pretty hard on 4s.
It hasn't reduced the power at all.
