Okay everybody...

I am a Mini veteran, but a brushless newbie.

Does anybody here run brushless in their Mini?
I was thinking of buying this Novak system:

I have 2400mah NiCd batteries right now... Are they good enough? Would I have to go with LiPos instead? I don't want to buy all new batteries. I am assuming brushless motors and ESCs use less power.

Keep in mind I am not a serious racer.... my friends and I are bashers that get together & race our Minis in parking lots.

They want me to be the brushless ginea pig... if I am successful.... they say they will make the switch too!
