No ESC. It comes with a chassis kit, motor, tires and rims which need to be assembled and an unpainted wing and body set. Any brushed ESC will work. I use an LRP Quantum Sport 2.0 for size and weight in mine.

It has a static center damper and not a shock type damper in the center. It has steering rods with and S on the servo saver end and nylon cups on the steering knuckle side instead of turnbuckles. The diff housing is plastic as is the motor mount. The servo mount is an L shaped bracket and the servo held in by servo tape. The RM kit instructions have you assemble the car as a pillowball T-Bar suspension, but it also comes with the O Ring type setup and no additional instructions on how to set up the O ring. The spur gear is .6 pitch, 63 tooth and the provided spur is .6 pitch 17 tooth.
