I have a Radio Shack Tsauro-X. I haven't used it in 16-18 years. I want to see if it works.
I don't have the battery pack charger though, and think I need a new one so I can charge the battery pack and see if it works.

Some questions:
1. The battery pack is a Radio Shack
23-230 1200 mAh.
Can I replace it with a RadioShack 7.2V 3000mAh?
If so,
and I use 2300 mAh AA batteries in the car, will the battery pack run out last, since it is 3000 mAh, while the batteries in the car and remote are 2300 mAh?
Will getting a larger amp battery pack make my car run longer? I am also going from 1000 mAh AA batteries, to 2300 ones, in the car and remote. I remember the car lasting about 30 mins, then another 5-10 mins at slow speeds.
2. What about this Tenergy 7.2V 3000 mAh battery pack, can I use this instead too?

3. Can I use a battery charger like this, to charge either of the above Radio Shack or Tenergy batteries?

4. Do you think I have too much battery corrosion in the 2nd pic that I posted, to the point that batteries won't work?
5. What about the tires in my first pic. Are they ok?
6. I've always wanted a RC car that could do 360 degree spins. Yet that only seemed to be possible to do on remotes that had two vertical controls, rather than one vertical and one horizontal control.
Is it possible that if I replaced my remote, I could get this car to do 360 spins? If so, how would I go about looking for such a remote that would work? My remote says the band is 27.095 MHz.
Here's an example of a car that does 360 spins. Watch from 1:30 - 1:45. You will also see the remote, which has two vertical controls.

7. I also saw a listing for a Radio Shack Red Arrow. I am also considering getting one, just so I have two cars, and can race with someone.
Do you think the Red Arrow is comparable to the Tsauro-X, and will make for a fairly even race?
Thanks in advance for your help.
