Default Quick question hope I don't break the rules

Okay so basically I have two nitro truggies and I want to convert one of them to Brushless so that I can race in two classes.
The truggies that I have are a Mugen MBX5T Prospec and a
Hobao Hyper ST Pro. They are pretty much equal in terms of what I will need to convert the two (RC Monster Products) my options are limited due to Tekno discontinuing its kit for my 5T which is what I was originally going to use...
Which of the two is the better choice to convert?
I believe the ST Pro is a bit heavier than the 5T, are the current brushless motor able to provide enough power to move this truggy to say 50-60mph?

Also if you have any suggestion as to what motor/esc combo to use that will be great also. My thought was to go with a Castle Creations Mamba 2200KV/Tekin RX8 combo on a 5S or 6S lipo with at least 4000mah and 35C rating.
Going from nitro to brushless, how does that affect handling?
They both are tanks and durability has not been an issue with either!
Pretty much just give your input and .02cents!
Thanks in advanced everyone!
