I agree that the E-Maxx is the monster truck with the most options for going brushless, but there are always other considerations for a new project.
I have threads on the forums here for both an OFNA 1/8th scale buggy turned brushless and an Associated MGT turned brushless.
The MGT has nowhere near the amount of hopups/upgrades as the Maxx trucks, but was a suprisingly easy conversion. Not counting the speed control/motor/pinion gear, it cost me less than $1 and no fabrication of parts or drilling/physical modification to stock parts to make a brushless MGT that gets to the mid-20s with a Feigao 8L on 8 nimh cells. It literally took 2 zip-ties and 3 15" velcro straps. To be fair, the zip-ties should (and will) be replaced with a proper motor mount, but I have had zero problems in about 2 hours of runtime.
