I am looking for a Speed Controller for my brushed motor that came with the Easy Star, but I am having trouble finding one, and if I have to spend the same amount as buying a new motor I would just as soon have a brushless motor

I found a forum post that said the Rcer Warp4 was the same size as the brushed motor

"get a RCer Warp4 4 turn brushless. It will fit right where the stock motor does. You need about a 20 amp ESC and a APC 6x4E prop and adapter."

the dimensions are:

Weight: 77.79 grams, 2.744 oz. (this is with wires and connectors on it)
Length: 1.35" (34.5 mm)
Diameter: 1.1" (28 mm)

another recommended upgrade:

For a 2 cell Lipo the Permex 400 8D with a 7x4 prop works nicely.
You can order M332459 which is the motor with a BL-27 ESC (27 amp)

Chellie recommends this motor
