I have been searching YouTube and have been unable to find any how to vids on how to swap a manual speed control to an electronic speed control. Any help would be appreciated.

Remove manual speed controller and servo and resistor 

ESC plugs into motor like MSC did

ESC plugs into receiver where MSC did

done

Nope 

that stays in ch1 of the receiver 

ESC goes in ch2

the “structure” that the MSC is mounted to can come out too if you want 

what car?

OR leave everything in place.

you have lots of space.

unplug the servo wire from the receiver and the motor wires from the MSC

fit the ESC and connect to motor and Ch2 

then you have the retro look and less work ;)

Took the old parts out. Is a cooling fan necessary?

It is noticeably faster in forward with great wheelies. Not a huge fan of the responsiveness of reverse though.

It’s a massive change going from MSC to ESC because there is no “slam it into reverse” and your initial application of reverse is purely braking.

then once you’ve stopped you can apply reverse. Saves gearboxes :)

don’t need a fan unless running a big battery
