Brushless 380s for a Tamiya tank...

I want brushless simply for low maintenance and efficiency. To the extent I can increase torque without an increase in wheelspeed, that would be good too.

Thanks.

Eh. Nevermind. It appears that the Tamiya esc (which also coordinates with a sound unit and can't practically be switched out) only works with brushed motors.
