You might want to post in the electric OFF road car section. It's the third one down. I'm not sure about the motor and ESC. A combo might be best. A Futaba radio is a great place to start. Get the Futaba 3PL. It's about $115 at A-Main hobbies and comes with a receiver. Additional receivers are $40 each. That's cheap! The 3PL has a 10 car memory.
