G'day R/C nuts, I have a 1/10 Rock Crawler with two 380 brushed motors on the axles. I want to change them to brushless and was wondering about the ESC issue. What is the best way to go about the transformation for the ESC?

Buy two new ones is the best way - one for each motor (one suitable for brushless as any conversion woud probably end up more expensive than replacement)

one part to remember,for a rock crawler a sesored motor and ESC is best.

thanks, I'm mainly going for the conversion so I can use Lipo batteries as the batteries for this one aren't cheap.
