But it'll be slower, and it's an outrunner, so being paired with the more common escs (castle's sw4, or mamba x, or the copperhead) it's got a high pitch whine to it. Unfortunately for the OP, there's not much options on brushless for such a small rig. Holmes hobbies makes 380 sized revolver (brushless sensorless outrunner) designed specifically for these sized rigs, and then there's Fury tek (not sure on spelling) but I believe they are more for the 1/24th scale rigs.
