Default Need electronics for my Mini-T

My first motor fried, so i bought an aftermarket. Then, my ESC died, so i sold my battery.

I need a new motor, new battery, new ESC and new radio. All i have left is the stock transmitter with no crystals.

I dont want to spend much (Who does?!) and i like Trinity stuff. So should I get another 6 cell battery, a decent motor, and risk frying another stock ESC? Any advice would be appriciated.

Ok, so use the stock ESC/Rx as my Rx, and use an aftermarket ESC? How is that supposed to work?

Very confused. Thanks for trying to help, but some good grammar and spelling would make your posts much more informative.

I dont think he knows the mini-t has combo units.You may want to get a brushless system as it will be as much as the brushed ESC and motor. Then just get a 27MHZ AM reciever and some crystals. You will also need a new servo.

Yikes, that adds up pretty quickly. Some kid wanted to buy my chassis for 30 bucks, i was thinking about selling it to him and just buying a brand new RTR and then getting my battery and motor. I've already got a nice Duratrax Piranha Digital peak charger, it is awesome.

I always had two problems with it though. My motor would always get pretty hot, and then eventually my ESC stopped working, but i dont remember it getting hot.

Anyone else had these problems?
