@ atomik.. im in Melbourne, to be honest, I payed $20. for the 3 sets with a bulk lot of crawler stuff I brought, so just after what they owe me + whatever it costs to get them to you.. otherwise I can use them as weight retaining rings on the crawlers 
speaking of.. some updated pics of the current running collection...
things I havnt added to these as yet but are sitting in the toolbox are:
Slash:
lipo packs.. 11.1V 3cell(wheelstand on demand) Brushless is obviously in it now, and currently powered by a 7Cell Nimih 8.4V.. good.. but i want MORE! (will need to get a 2.4 receiver for this sometime...)
SCX10: Crawler Speedy with drag brak, lipo compatible, programable, inbuilt BEC. alloy hubs, alloy links inc. steer, obviously iv got the 2.2s on it at the moment, still need more weight in them as they are a little light but hook up like $hit to a blanket!!
Is also running on 2.4ghz now.. soooo much cleaner n signal its amazing! never will I go AM again!!
2.2 Comp: Well the bug needs a servo for the dig installed, and I need to get another 2.4 ghz reciever, and mod my control for a 3 chan switch.. otherwise its good to go!!
I recieved my lipo's a decent charger(turnigy)and Lipo Bag.. not bad for $60.00 AU inc. shipping.. Hobbyking in hongkong, when they have the stock, cant complain.. if its on backorder thou, be prepaired to wait..I was just on 3 months for these batteries to become available!!
I still got the RC bike, havnt 'ridden' it for a while, might look into some more lipos for that now I got the charger! Vintage SandScorcher, still sits upon the shelf being a queen.. and the .25 savages are in retirement. wouldnt touch a nitro again. Brushless ALL THE WAY!

what IS w.m.d..
Your better off gettingthe whole set up, motor esc champ.
5.5t are fast motors. what will you be using it for.. I would say start with a 9T ezrun / speedpassion.
Higher the kv the lower the Turn in the motor...
well there brushless cos they dont have brushes in them. if you have ever pulled a drill/grinder/ etc apart
you will find lil brush in them.
brushless motor have more power, can program them for speed, brakes, lipo cut off, drag brake. etc
brushed motors are non programable.

Weight retainer.. crawler wise.. Stnadard 1:1 ar wheel weights are added into both the front and rear rims. the drift ring (or more often than not electrical tape) is then stuck AROUND the weights to retain them!
Beofre having a ring(tape)
Brushless VS Brushed: Drive a brushless car with the same setup then drive the brushed.. pick your jaw up off the concrete and have sweet dreams about brushless.. Power is almost instant, run times will increse, being programable(some brushed ESC's are but big $$) pretty much NO maintenance.. so no brushes to replace, no comms to cut.. and smooth n quiet!! PC, xobx, ps2,3 fans etc are brushless.. power drills are not..
A brushed motors internals will look VERY similar to
whilst a Brushless motor will look like
:listen:Im glad outrunners wernt mentioned ..
wait till the world of LiPo hits you Atomik.. there will be NO looking back at the ol Nimih!!or god forbid.. Nicad!! :baaa:
some REALLY good reading here depending how much you want to know about your electric motor...
G2 Consulting - Motor Design and Power Electronics (course)

theres a few aussie places..
RCHobbies.com.au
eBay Australia Shop - OZ-RC MODELS: General accessories spares, Car Kits Ready To Run, Clear Unpainted (very good seller and has a shop front been there heaps of times)
out of aus (china,usa)..
Tower Hobbies - Best Source for Radio Control ( R/C or RC ) Cars, Trucks, Airplanes, Boats and Helicopters
RC car, truck, crawler, monster, helicopter, planes - rcMart.com (used this place heeaps of times, always got what i wanted with no hassels)
ebay usa is also good.. and cheap..
edit..
also forgot to add if your going to convert to a brushless, buy a kit as you need speed controller as well as the motor... and yep a good lipo battery and balance charger...
also the ezrun series of engines and speed controllers are the same as the venom..(ezrun actually make the venom)
and yeah in the pic above, thats just a normal brushed motor..

Mite find venom have nothing to do with ezrun.. You will find speed passion (Drift passion)
are ezrun. After the 12 month copy wright they had on speedpassion motors run out.
The ezrun 9t setups were made.
Venom are in a class of there own for price / proformance / warranty's / wiring / esc / motor.
rrp for a veom setup start from around $200
ezrun / speedpassion (driftpassion) good price / made really only for drifting / 2wheel drive trucks / 4x4 wheel drive trucks.
rrp for them are around $90 to $190 depends where one is getting them from (shop / ebay)
