Default New ESC

Was running my B4 and my ko propo ESC seems to have died. For a while now it's blipped power which has lost me steering too but then its come back on. When I stopped my B4 today, turned off the switch, the motor started very slowly turning so i unplugged the corallys and the ESC started making a hissing noise. It's quite cold out, and the heat from it has steamed up the inside of the shell! I don't trust it to run again and break the lovely car.

So my choices are: New ESC for my motor - it's only a cheap motor, but there you go.

Go brushless! I bash, not race, and was thinking maybe this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Carson-Brushle...QQcmdZViewItem would provide better value for money?
