Is it possible to run a brushless motor with the xl-5?

Sorry about this stupid question but I usually buy the esc-motor brushless combo when I replaced the electronics in my slash...for my crawler I have plans of running the xl-5 along with possibly a brushless motor and 2s lipo battery..is this possible? If so, what brushless motor are you guys using with the xl-5?"thumbsup"

Nope, the XL5 will only run brushed motors down to 15 turns.

Thanks!

One more question, I have a leftover juggernaut gearbox which can run dual motors...is it bad to run dual 45t motors in a crawler? Will it have benefits or is it more negatives than positives?"thumbsup"

You can do it but the question is why. Better to change the motor and voltage to get the desired result.
