Hi all, been away from the RC world for too long, started many moons ago with a Super Champ, then Boomerang, Clod Buster, I could go on, did swerve to the dark side occasionally with a ProCat and other well known models. Recently received an Egress Black Edition as a gift for a “Shelf Queen” project, whilst that was the idea, the young version of me wants to still set it up so it can be used, just in case, given that I’ve been away so long, my knowledge is no longer what it used to be, when you were young and absorbed everything like a sponge. I have gone for the recommended motor option of the 53779 GT motor, albeit, I would have been tempted with a brushless option, but given my lack of knowledge these days, played it safe. I am looking for help with options for a suitable ESC and RC gear options, I am a little older, so prefer a stick option, rather than wheel, still have fond memories of my Futuba Attack-R from the past, never let me down 🤔🙂 Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated, would prefer to be as “stock” as possible, although, I will not be painting the Egress black, as suggested 🥴

I'm looking at getting a Globe liner kit, and would like recommendations for things like motors and which MFU to get. Thanks in advance

HI chaps (and ladies?) I have a few restoration projects on the go at the moment and have a few questions i would LOVE some answers too I am restoring an early 80's sand scorcher, a Wild Willy M38 and a bear hawk (basher). Now my question is about (he checks he is in the electronics forum!) Electronics..:HAHA! I have never bought a stand alone servo in my life (having only ever had two real RC cars before as a kid they came assembled by my dad and the electronics came in the Acoms box. I want a recommendation for a good reliable and cheap ESC. These are not going to be raced or run hard, More than likely shelf queens with the occasional run as i get more fun from the build (Odd aint I). and when i say cheap i mean circa €15-€20 would be nice. I also want a good reliable standard steering suitable servo, I have read LOADS of information and recommendations and they all scream for €50-€80 Savox, Spectrum or similar digital wizz bang servos suitable for 100kph racers. I want cheap reliable (branded) servos but i have no experience. I do know i would prefer metal geared IF possible. So recommend away please! Oh and i am in Germany so Available in Europe would be helpful.
