Better to go with a Firma 100. for $15. more. If you want to run 3s. (11.1v)
I would stay away from Smart Firma ESC's. Check out HW stuff.
Your main problem will be with drivetrain failure with BLX power. Hopefully you are familiar enough with wrenching your rig to do those upgrades.
Should have gotten a 3s BLX to begin with. Or just buy one now. It will cost you as much to upgrade it to become a 3s rig. The cost difference between a Mega and a 3s Senton was $90. Now you are spending over $100. to just change out the ESC and motor. That doesn't include another$100+ in extra parts to make it a 3s Senton. The motor and ESC is the easy part. You need an updated slipper and metal spur gear at minimum. Maybe even metal input gears at the diffs. If you don't know what these are, you need to go to the Arrma-RC.com site and look at all the blow up diagrams. Look at the Senton 3s and see what parts you need that will update your mega and what parts will cross over. There are more parts differences than you think. Not just the Motor and ESC.
The Mega line is slow out the box, but you can tweak them a bit for more speed if you adjust gearing and use a HS on the brushed motor. Have you considered this. Adjusting gearing is usually the focus of RC's in general to get more speed or torque. No matter the motor/ESC setup you have.
Just my thoughts.

Thanks for the reply. What would you suggest for adjusting the gears, what to change and what is HS. Sorry newbieBetter to go with a Firma 100. for $15. more. If you want to run 3s. (11.1v)
