Hi in my late teens I purchased a Tamiya R/C car for general use since I had and interest in R/C. I used it around my property/street and parks etc.
Then it sat on my shelf as a display.

I am looking to get it going again for some nostalgia and I still have an interest in R/C, so I need help in identifying the model, and what upgrades it may have.
I can tell the ESC might need replacing since there are 2 wires that have come out. I also don't think I should try charge/use the NiCad battery. What should I replace it with?

Since I can't post pictures yet: I updated my profile with an album of pictures of the Tamiya model. Hopefully someone can identify it,
