Still using the 15t at the moment. I'll have a look at the 21t though. I've realised that buying a bigger battery increases run time, which is a win, but reduces the life of the motor. I'm nearly getting through a motor per trip out. I'll also give lipos some proper thought. Thankyou for you thoughts Ben

Thankyou for the reply, and the welcome. I bought a zorro/ torro (also brushless) for my lad after I saw how much fun he was having with the outlaw, and I never got a look in with the outlaw. Interestingly the zorro torro doesn't seem to eat motors as readily (possibly due to smaller wheels, or my imagination) . I think I need to brace myself and convert both at the same time. Tell you what though they are soooo much fun despite the glitches.

Hello All, I have a complete newbie question about the outlaw which has been asked many times before, sorry. I bought a brushed outlaw as my first proper rc car and it has been huge fun. Considering how much fun it was I didn't mind replacing the first motor. However as the temperature has gone up and grass has got longer I am just getting through motor's like nothing else. I am now on motor number 4 or 5. I'm thinking of giving up on brushed and going to brushless. However having read the threads I'm now in a complete knot and quite confused. I want brushless for longevity and reliability, is this reasonable?? I'm not fussed about a big speed increase because I've caused enough damage to the poor thing as standard. I also don't really want to move away from NIMH batteries, because i bought a few 5000 batteries for longer runs, also I'm a bit wary of lipo's (maybe unreasonably). I see that modelsport do a brushless upgrade, as do ftx but I don't really know what I'm looking at or whether I'm just opening up a can of worms. As I say sorry it's a much asked question but I'd appreciate any thoughts you may all have.
