The GT 1.1 will run brushed or brushless

and the 2.0 is specifically designed for ONLY brushless, no brushed.

Here's an explanation, 99.9% of R/C racers that run a "Brushless ESC" only use "brushless" motors. Only a person making that transition from brushed to brushless will use a "Brushless ESC" for brushed motor use. After a short period of time they will make the full transition to brushless motors. so there is no need for them to use the brushed motor functionality of the ESC any longer. We decided in the design process of the GT 2.0 to only offer brushless compatibility after watching what racers used and large races around the world, less than 5% of racers used brushed motors in the back half of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. So the decision was made to only offer brushless on the new ESC.
