I just bought a pair of these Half 8's for my 5yr old son...I upgraded one to the X-speed motor, the 8 cell pack, the regulator and the oil filled shocks. He's having a ball with it, but has already blown one of the stock servos. Right now I have him up and running witht he servo out of the old one, but I also bought a nice digi Futaba S9650. My problem is the thing only has 3 wires on the plug instead of 4 like the stock one and I can't get it to work with the stock equipment. Is there a way to make it work with the stock electronics or do I have to by a reciever and ESC?
If I have to get a receiver and ESC which ones would you recomend? Do I really want to go brushless with this thing? I'm trying to keep it so I don't wind up going through the whole drive train to beef it up...honestly for my 5 year old it's plenty fast now.
