I was on the Traxxas forum and some of the folks there are using the Traxxas Velineon brushless system in the E-Revo, but they are using them in pairs! Compared to the Neu, Feigao, and other motors we use on this site along with their high-powered speed controllers, the Velineons are cheap and easy to find. Here is a list of other advantages of this approach:

-Cheap Motors
-Cheap Speed Controllers
-Easy to find at hobby shops
-Great Traxxas support and warranty
-heat is spread over two motors so temps may be lower
-heat is spread over two speed controllers so temps may be lower
-Two ESCs means two heat sinks
-It can be run on 2s or 3s
-Higher kv motor (3500 rpm/v) means less voltage needed (lower temps)
-Velineon is super easy for both installation and programming...no soldering required...everything is in the Velineon combo box!!

Frankly, I can't see the down side. A pair of Velineons (two motors and two speed controllers is about $340. That is much less than a Neu and Quark 125. Mamba Monsters might change that equation since they are not too expensive, but who can find one?
