This had been asked many times and the answer you will get is "they are not directly comparable". The closest will be 17.5t or 21.5t in terms of RPM.

No, that is a tap, not a thread forming tool. It cuts thread instead of forming thread. Something like this is more suitable.

Yes you can. Original was for 8 x 1.2 - 1.5v, so no problem there at all. The QR electronics is different from what I am used to (ESC + RX) so I am not 100% sure what the switch controls. I will suggest wiring the new battery to the old battery compartment routing. On a modern ESC, the switch actually cuts the BEC citcult, not the actual battery supply.

A bunch of cheap Aliexpress blue bits arrived. They are engine guard, gearbox brace, steering arm, suspension shafts and bridge x2 and servo posts. This lot costed me less than a Tamiya motor guard but are they any good? First is the steering arm. It does not come with the 850 bearings but I have them ready. It also comes with a hollow steering pivot post but it will not fit into the bearings so I went with the stock solid one. Not a good start. Installed the gearbox brace, motor guard and steering arm. All fits fine with holes and dimensions spot on. Then installed servo posts. Works exactly like the Tamiya one. A HS JX Servo is used. That's the parrs in and time for bed.

This. I also have no problems with their "solid" parts but shocks are a different ball game I guess. If you want impressive looking cheap shocks, try looking at Boom Racing ones, however they seem to be selling out at my usual supplier.

I have them and my advice is to get YR instead.
