What would you guys recommend for a motor+esc and pinion on this chassis? And what sort of battery would I be looking to run? I'm all set to charge and balance anything with deans thanks to having several planes and helis already.

Was hoping to find some kind of deal on a Tx with Rx+Servo and just throw that stuff in.

Reading around more people seem to be having some issues with the kit but still like it as they can all be fixed and still be under the cost of a competing car...I'm just slightly concerned because I have no experience at all with 1/10 stuff here..I've seen people mention wheel chatter, issues with the belt and some fitment issues, dunno really. I'm down to learn but I don't want to get in over my head, I'd just like a decent CS setup at a good price haha.

It's hard for me to tell if these issues are just people nitpicking and it'd be fine for me or if they're serious issues that need to be addressed before you can do much with the chassis. It's probably worth mentioning that I'd like to be able to confidently run outdoors. I don't know of any local drift tracks (though there's a ton of empty space in my apartments laundry room, smooth concrete) and I tend to notice interesting drifting lines when I'm walking around in parking lots and sidewalks and whatnot, always thought it'd be a lot of fun to hit them.
