Nothing wrong with the cars for brushless, you just have to get the tension set correctly. Once the tension is set, you'll know it. The belt won't try riding up the teeth and the car should roll decently. The belt will always feel like it has some drag. My problem also had some to do with the gear mesh on the motor as the previous owner had it too tight. When I actually decided to do brushless, I ran it looser and it made a HUGE difference. Anyone else can pipe in that has far more hours than I do.
