Need Advice-CX2 brushless motor upgrade

[phupper]

Hi,
I want to upgrade the motors on my Blade CX2. It uses 180 motors. I saw a Park 180 "outrunner" brushless online, but it doesn't look like my motors. Is "outrunner" a differrent type of motor? Will these motors fit in a CX2? If not, what's a good brushless upgrade for this model?

Thanks!

Without out an extensive rebuild of youe CX2 you cannot use brushless motors. You would need to install a new esc and I don't believe the 4in1 controller can handle brushless. I have seen one person do it but it takes a lot of work.

An outrunner motor would be very difficult if not impossible to install. The can motors in the CX2 are probably relatively cheap to replace if they wear out.
