Default Reviving my 20yr old Associated RC10 buggy

Hello - new to the forum.

I built an RC 10 buggy (gold aluminium tub) many years ago. It is in great condition and wanted to get it running for the kids to try.

When I built it I replaced the stock motor with an after market Reedy and installed a Futaba ESC MC210CB.
I charged up the old 1700mah nicad and it ran for about 3 min.

I purchased a new onyx 5000mah Nimh battery to go in it and I think it fried the motor. I checked it with a volt meter and the ESC is working well, just the motor stopped working.

Can you guys recommend some good motor replacements to go with this new battery? I am lookinig for good run time at least 20+min per charge.
Thanks,
Mike
