"In addition to their all-weather capability, the XL-5 models are now Brushless Ready™ with the same steel gears found in the brushless-equipped, VXL-edition Bandit, Stampede, and Rustler models. Without adding any drivetrain parts, the XL-5 models can be upgraded to handle speeds of 65mph or more with a high-power Traxxas Velineon™ Brushless Power System"Brushless Ready Magnum 272™ Transmission
Stampede’s Magnum 272 transmission is assembled with new all metal gear internals riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. Combined with the smooth 48-pitch gears, power is delivered quietly to the durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks.
Brushless Ready Planetary Gear Differential
The composite Traxxas planetary gear differential now features a steel ring gear with a nylon gear housing for long life. It uses hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength during rigorous off-road bashing. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance and its efficient design puts maximum tire-shredding torque to the wheels.


Agora as engrenagem são de aço, e segundo a traxxas dá pra usar brushless sem problemas.
