My buddy ran a vxl in his slash for about 6 months and it just stoped working, The other night at my local track a guy had problems with his motor and rotor would not spin. I would check the MM systems they work great.

I would want a waterproff system if those were the conditions, but i dont think id ever drive my cars by puddles/snow or water period.

There arn't alot of waterproof brushless combos. Another good one that is kinda water resistant(you can go trhue a puddle) is tha mamba max pro(200$). But if you get the sidewinder, you can only use the castle creations motor. I think the vxl or the mamba max pro are your best bang for your buck.

The problem that you are going to have with your brushed motor is that you are going to have to cut the comm every 10 runs ,change the brushes and clean it with motor cleaner. But, if you always do that maintenace you will have a really good motor.

yea im willing to do that, for the winter at least

It's a good idea. But your motor will probably be dead at the end of the winter because water shortens the life of a brushed motor.

actually cheaper in the long run to go brushless

I have a velineon in my SC10. It makes ridiculous power.

The downside is that I had to shut off the lipo cutoff because it's set for 3s so it would kick in way to early on my 2s packs.

I have the traxxas brushless in my slash with the 1/8 scale adapters by AKA on the wheels to be able to run 1/8 scale tires n rims and its plenty power running 21/86 and getting about 28 min runtime with SMC 4100 lipo. No problems at all with the speedcontrol since day 1. Its actually a little to much for the track i run on. I believe its also waterproof and the warrantys by traxxas are very good as long as you dont abuse your equipment.
