That should work fine and allow you to put a 15 turn motor in. Remember to gear down a bit by lower number of teeth on pinion and/or higher number on spur gear.

Yes, with stock motor and that esc. If you put in a lower turn motor then you may need to gear down.

I agree with doahh.If you are on a low buget (looks like you are) you could could better for the same price.Here take a look at this.

if u want a esc id dave ur money and get a good one(lrp or novak) or look on ebay for a tekin tsc 410s or better. u can get them cheap there . i own sevral of them (got for under 40 $)and never had any problems and im running a 9 turn motor

edit to above reply^^^

i have had better luck with used tekinesc than buying new Intellispeed or tazer theri jus to cheaply made and the one thing on ur car u dont want to be crappy is your esc

if tekin didn`t spill on their customers 3years ago, i would still love them... oh well... anyways, i have to say the tekin products are top-notch: both their chargers and their ESCs... my g12c still works after 12 years of total abuse. the happiest 110$ i ever paid in rc...

yeah i know... but i am still pissed off! i had slapped more than 1000$ on their products when i was racing back in the mid-90s, and all of them were really great racing-grade stuff... when they closed their bussiness, EVEN the emails weren`t responded... you know what it is to have 1000$ electronics stuff without ANY service support? they could have [at least] licensed/sold their customer support to another company, just not to let their customers down. i sold most of my tekin stuff [except the G12C] because i was afraid of something going loose....and then... to the garbage! i didn`t forgive them since then, and as far as i am concerned i am not buying anything from them till i see their bussiness stands on feet again... [which is...3-4 years MINIMUM, counting from now]
