Traxxas 4-Tec Conversion

Hmm, I'm kinda torn right now.

I have enough spare parts to make a complete setup, but using a brushed motor (Titan 550 12T) but the belt arrangement creates a lot of drag. So, I was thinking of making this RWD only and keeping the Titan and XL5 ESC in there. Removing the front diff, shafts, belts, etc will make it quite a bit lighter and runtime will be better. 2WD will be harder to control, but the brushed motor doesn't have tons of torque anyway, so it shouldn't be too bad. This was never meant for a speed car anyway, so that's not a biggie.

If I went BL, I'm gonna have to wait for a motor.
