correct dan at that level you r told to run certain stuff by your sponsers so you do and make the best of it, i changed to brushless mid year and havent looked back, yes ive had 2 failers, one due to my own errors (i didnt water proof it enough) and one that just failed but in comparison to the brushed year before it was no worse and in fact i did 1 speedo and 4 motors through the year by desoldering the internals, the main thing is that in the brushless case the warrenty was honered and if the bits were in stock they were shipped straight out to me, the advantages ive found is to have a lot more feel midway through the power range which ive found makes the car a lot more drivable. as for makes of equipment im obviously biased towards nosram as im sponsered to run it but can also say that it has been run without hitch for the time ive had it and has been really good to use, one of my team mates runs nosram speedo's and orion motors and he really rates them for there reliability as well. every manufacturer has had failures of equipment and everyone will have a horror story of some part or other, so make your own choiceas to what to run, i honestly dont think you will go wrong with your original choice of nosram speedo's and orion motors as i have seen them first hand being given a lot of abuse for a year now without fault
