Hi guys

I got given this buggy, but not sure what make/model it is?

Also, the motor is knackered and I was looking at getting a new motor. It's a brushed system, so I was looking at a 15T HPI motor (I assume it'll fit?), but aware that I need a ESC that can handle it. Not sure what ESC I have either:

Looking like it maybe this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Car-300A-Speed-Controller-ESC-1-10-12-for-RC-Car-Truck-Buggy-Brushed-Motor-/330981627515?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item4d100ad67b which does state 20T max. Any idea of a cheap ESC that will support a 15T motor?

Thanks

It looks like a Maverick Strada MT Evo:

Also looks like the ESC maybe the standard one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maverick-MSC22-V2-Electronic-Speed-Control-ESC-MV22251-/190879150464?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item2c7148b180

Says its good for 13T.

Found a local RC shop and bought a 17T motor. Works fine so far! still unsure how well the battery is holding up. What kind of run time should I be looking at? it's apparently a 4300mAh battery.


Also gave it a clean and checkup:
