Okay I've been reading the forums for months now, and I really want to turn my H8 into a mean little machine. However, I am still a little confused on exactly what conversions are required to go brushless. Can someone give me a breakdown on everything I will need? I'm trying to figure out what I need to do, and the cost impact.

Obviously I need the new motor and speed control. But do I also need a new receiver? Do I need a new steering servo? (I've noticed a lot of people replacing the servo, but I don't know why) Can I still use my Kyosho pistol-grip transmitter that came with the car?

Any help would be appreciated.

hey no need for put downs here.
Your on the right track of going brushless.

I'm not an expert, but thought I could help.

Just pick up a 27mhz AM receiver and a servo of your choice then you can continue to use the POS stock remote :D .
