    STS engines

    Brushless conversion

    Has anyone ever used Kershaw's direct drive brushless conversion? http://204.186.93.64/Savage-DirectDrive.htm That would appear to be stronger and more efficient than modifying and using the transmission. If anyone has used this setup, please give me your feedback, good or bad.
