Default Switching to brushless with out replacing my ESC

I'm new to this so forgive the newbie question. I have a RS10 with the stock two 70T/380 motors I would like to swithc to a sealed brushless motor for playin in the mud. What motor if any could I use with out having to change my ESC ? Thanks

If your current esc is brushed only which I am assuming it is, then it wont work for brushless.

Yea it wont run brushless motors.

The good news is that brushed motors are perfectly capable of running in water. Now all your other electronics will need to be waterproofed or they wont last long.

He's correct. Brushed motors are better in water and mud than brushless (there are no "sealed" brushless motors).
