FMS Funhaver 1/18 worth going brushless?

Question

I’m thinking about getting the Funhaver 1/18 and am wondering if it’s worth going brushless?

I’ve got an Arma Mojave Grom 1/18 brushed already and they’re fun for a bit of light bashing on tarmac/gravel when you don’t want to haul out a bigger truck. But even the brushed is prone to rolling on tight corners, so I’m wondering if it’s really worth going brushless at this small scale or if the extra power and speed is unnecessary for such a small body?

I understand that the brushless Funhaver has some upgraded parts like metal gears as well, so also wondering if the added durability makes it worth the jump to brushless, even if you aren’t necessarily going full send it?
