Default New to RC cars and starting with a Drift car

OK first of all is there a link that anyone knows of that I can start to read on how these things work and what the do's and dont's about getting parts, etc? As well as a link that would teach me what in the world an esc is and what are the benefits of having a brushless motor and pros and cons? I work on real cars and am experienced in replacing everything on my car so dont be afraid to get too technical.

Second:this is the car that I just recently bought.

I am looking to upgrade the battery on it and this is what it looks like I might get from looking and searching on a few forums

I notice that the connectors are different. Is there an adapter that I can purchase or should I cut and re-soulder the connections?


Last and not least are there any upgrades that you guys would recommend me doing as a beginner in this field?

I will be looking up some tire options for my car (drift and regular tire set ups) and will probably be purchasing sets of rims that I can change between drift tires and regular tires.


Thanks again for all of the help
