New to electric and 1/18 scale
Hey all I'm New to electric I've had nitro in the past so I'm looking for some guidance with my recent acquisition I picked up a duratrax vendetta st with a brushless motor and a tekin esc with no rx/tx for $30 and a losi mini t with everything and had been used only on grass needs a shock up front and a pin for the front control arm picked that one up for $25 I'd like to switch that over to brushless a well what type up upgrades do I need to do to it to make it reliable thanks in advance

As far the mini t it would be a ball diff it may have been upgraded already you may want to check. Some cv would be nice with a alloy shock upgrade
cv drives

As i see it and what you payed for the mini t i just would not feel good about dropping 100.00+ on a high end ecs combo

I appreciate that you took the time to do a little digging for me I think I am going to take the route you suggest I just wish the motor was waterproof to oh well though
