The brushless serpent 1/8th onroad project!

Yep, I bought a revo roller with the intention of converting it to BL. I bought the rc-monster BL motor mount that works with the stock mount along with a UBEC (fast shipping btw) and plan on doing the conversion as soon as I can get a grip on what motor/ESC combo to use. I want to use the stock tranny and gearing if possible. If not, I need some direction on a good setup. Back in the day when the choice of brushless motors was pretty sparse (Hacker, Lehner) it was easy to make make choice. Now there's so many motors available it makes it much more time consuming to research the available options. Any suggestions for something inexpensive and bomb-proof?

It was just a feew years ago when I used to catch a lot of crap from the gas guys about for running BR/BL setups in my boats. Now you see more guys running electrics than anything else. And the electrics are more reliable and faster.

Brushless Vector........damn........I've been tinkering the with the thought of an electric Vector for the last few years. With the advances in BL technology and wealth of interest in electric power, someone is gonna make a conversion kit.

I want one so bad I'd let you borrow my Gallardo if you'd sell it to me : )
