My first RC10, getting it back on the track

[Rcryther]

Hello!

I've just gotten my hands on an old RC10 here in Norway, and I'd love to use it before the winter storms in. So any tips on what parts I could buy for it would be appreciated.




It is missing throttle regulator (esc?) and battery. I've got the radio reciever in a bag.
I've been trying to look for Novak T-4 on ebay, but its pretty much useless at this point, they are all gone, so it's much easier to find a modern throttle, but what can I use?

Also! it's a Trinity brush engine in it

Any current brushed or brushless system will work find, the milder the better- but those red Tamiya adaptors will self destruct quickly

Thanks for replying!

So, I can use brushless system without modifying anything else on it?
I figured that brusheless esc were used when having brushless engines.... I'm that new to this!

Yes, but it will be easier to get a brushed ESC. Look for any cheap system - Traxxas makes a waterproof one. But if you want speed and longevity, you'll need to sink more money into it.

At my local hobby shop they want 70$ for M-sonic Viper ECO 20. So anything better and around that price is what I'm looking for. (Cheaper of course.) I don't know much about these. Google isn't of any help here.
So I have no clue if they are good enough, good buy, etc?
I guess I could go for Lipo for this car as well without any big problems? (Running the engine to bits.)
