I would get a standard FM 75 mhz. transmitter just to save money.
Second i would get either the GT7 or the QC2 cause those are the top ESC. No drag brake is not good for a on-road carpet track. even though it has alot of turns drag brake is for off-road.
You can burn a motor up very easily with drag brake while driving on-raod. I've done it before. Trust me
Third go with a putman motor. Thats the only motor i run. My motor has 17999 RPM's and my older brother has a monstor stock revenge of the monstor moter and his motor has 23000 RPM's and my car goes faster than his. Even though he has a GT7 ESC. Go with a Putman. Oh ya all the expert guys that run at my local track run Putmans
Ya the Pro Match Batteries are very good in power and overal performance. I have their batteries and they run fine. They are also at a very good low price for how good they are.
I hope this helps u with what your trying to decide for your car.
