Hi Hydro212,
Yes you probably could, but this would cost more than your helicopter.
There is more to consider than just the motor voltage there also the battery,
You would be better off choosing a coaxial helicopter that already has brushless system installed.

+1 on that T-R-E-V, but finding a brushless co-axial at a novice price will not be easy.

Hi Hydro,
One possibility is a pair of ball bearing motors. They are a direct replacement for the stock ones and give about 25% more power.
You may find that these will fit. It would be a great upgrade.

Not a lot. The fixing holes may be the problem, the ball bearings will handle the power. I thought you said the motors were 370s!
