There's no need to change the gearing inside the transmission when going brushless. I'm guessing you've seen the Losi Conversion kit has different bevel gears and seen some people switch to XXL spec bevel gears. Both the XXL and Losi E-kit gears will make the truck faster. If you're happy with how it is there's no reason to change.

If you want to ditch the mechanical brakes you have to ditch the 2 speed and convert to single speed. With the 2 speed you cannot use esc/motor braking and have to run mechanical brakes due to the one way bearings. The Dude makes a nice single speed hub, the Losi is cheaper. You'll also need a car esc with braking.

To ditch the mechanical reversing you have to do the forward only conversion. The only one availible is from Losi. Or if you're cheap you can use some JB weld on the gears inside to hold them in forward like I did on my nephews LST. Works just fine, but the extra gears are still in there addidng weight, unfortunately just didn't have the cash for his truck.
