I just got my Traxxas Rustler 2.5 on Friday for $100. It needed a whole lot of cleaning and I spent all of Friday afternoon and through to Saturday morning doing that. Since its nice and clean now, I started diagnosing. The engine needed a carb clean, did that, and now it runs good. It needs new servos, throttle/brake and steering. I feel that since I'm replacing the servos, I should replace the transmitter and reciever too since they are outdated and worn. The body and wheels could be replaced but I'll worry about that later. Here are the parts I'm going to order soon, will they work properly together? Do I need anything else?

I think I'm going to replace the electric starter with a pull start. Its a pain in the butt (except the VERYawesome glow plug ignitor thats built in). When I start it up cold the engine turns over for a second when the starter first engages and then the starter spins freely like its not attached to the engine. It takes forever to start up because of this. I know its not the one way bearing, and I know that none of the gears are stripped.

Combination of RC system & Servo should be good.
Howwever, a Pull Start will give more agro than an EPStarter, suggest cause and repair is well covered under:
. EZ-Start help cheaper than buying a new one.
