Default can i run a brushed motor with a brushless ESC!!

i have a ezrun brushless system and was curious could i run the ESC on a brushed motor? i dont think the tranny would hold to the high rpm of the brushless motor.

Do you have the programmer for your esc? Does it have a brushed setting? I have an EZrun BL combo, and it is only brushless.. No settings for brushed.

Just pull the red wire on your ESC's receiver plug and heat shrink it back out of the way. Plug the BEC's receiver plug into the battery slot on the receiver. Should be good to go.
