pinion gear is here, its huge
esc is at the post office, will get it after school today

HKGT3 radio is ok, I used that in my old 1/5th scale buggy. Downside was the servo movement scale is different to other radio, & it's not adjustable - you have to mess about with longer servo-horns & different spline settings etc to re-set the car up to use with this radio.

You need to watch the amp rating on cheapy ESCs, it's a sales-ploy - the stated amp rating is often the sum total of the FET manufacturer's test/breakage current for all of the FETs on the board, not what current it takes to blow the ESC up. I can tell you now, looking at the FETs on your board in the picture, they're only realistically rated 1-2A each (2x FETs per chip) in normal operation - they're the same type as fitted to my 1/30th Kyosho MiniZ, & that's designed to run a 130 size motor from 4x AAAs.
I've also seen similar in MTronics stuff.
If you can read the number on the top of the FET chips, let me have it & I'll look it up & tell you what they're really rated at.

I have some real 60A operating rated FETs kicking about, & they're each about half the size of your whole ESC!
In fact, I've just bought another (Brushed) cheapy ESC & the seller is claiming it will cope with 320A - probably not I suspect!

got the esc

so the new esc works, just need to stick it down and do a speed run
a while ago i was driving it on grass with the 45A esc, full speed then i hit a stick, went right through the front bonnet thing, huge hole. ill post a pic when i find it

here is the pic

Serious impact.

i found a radio, its the radiolink rc3
good reviews so i might get it $60

Stick man myself but sounds good.

for me i find that the gun radios are easier for the throttle, i have 2 27mhz stick transmitters, one from the wild one era

havn't posted here for a while
i found some shocks that look quite good
