I also found that any brushed motor that requires changing the brushes is a bad idea for the Villian Ex if you leave the battery box in. The box makes the motors very difficult to unscrew.

I've never had a problem changing motors out in that boat, I just use a L shape allen wrench to break the capscrews loose, then a magnetic bit of the same size to back the screws all the way out with my fingertips. I can change out both motors in about twenty minutes.

You talking a single brushless motor/esc? I thought of maybe putting a dual brushless in the villain but the cost for two motors and two esc was too much. I really think 30mph is about as fast as that hull design can handle and remain at all stable. in the vid I posted on your other thread I had a gps on the villain and it reached top speed of 28.1. With a single brushless setup I'm sure you could make it fly!

did you check out the vid of the "mod traxxas villain" under the videos link at the top of this page, it's a pretty crazy fast brushless setup!
