Default Help needed with a Tamiya TRF414M.

I have had this TRF414M for like 5 years and I have only raced it 3 times. It's in the best shape it could possibly be in but I'm missing the front and rear sway bars. I also wanted to know what would be the best brushless motor and ESC on the market. I want balls to the wall fast. I also want to know what is the best battery/batteries to get to run this beast. Civic0412 at yahoo dot com if anyone can help me. Facebook is J.r. Isknownas Theprojectofscience.

If any one out there that knows what brushless motor and ESC to get can you also tell me where to get them from?

Thanks,
WAYBOUS

Don't think you should do that with a belt driven RC car. Too much power will grind the belt easily.

Didn't quite think of that. Thanks for the advice. Would you have any ideas for the right motor and ESC combo that would work for this car? I want some speed but I want to keep the car in the best shape I can.

Yeah. An 10.5 motor and ESC is a nice combo for that.

Need batteries and charger? These are what I think will work well.

Hey man, thanks a lot. I am going to have a running car once again. Been years since I had a 1/10th scale. I'm going to tune it and try and find the sway bars for it and put up some videos. Thanks again.
