I had hoped to try this myself with a couple of Redbrick 100A ESCs but converting them to brushed is beyond my skillset for the moment (even if that is possible).

I think its probably beyond my skill set and knowledge also at this point ! Interesting stuff specially when money can be saved !!

Sorry if this is getting a little off topic. Although I have not done it, it is in theory possible to reprogram a brushless ESC to use it with a brushed motor.

All input is welcome Paul. Like Ocracoke said this is how the bot bits ESCs start life its just seems beyond me at this stage I need to do lots more research !
