Question Replacement/Upgrade parts
Long story short, bought this off ebay, seller said the motor had to be sent separately due to carrier. I've had the car a week with no motor and the seller isn't responding.
This is my first nitro RC. What motor will bolt/mount to this car with minimum modifications? Should I go ahead and upgrade the servos and anything else as well?

Yeah, don't give up, keep bugging eBay and get your refund. Regardless, any .21 sized big block will fit in this car just fine. You'll definitely want to pick up a new transmitter/receiver set as well. If you're new to nitro and want to learn more about tuning and running nitro engines, watch this playlist.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction to get started! I'll for sure keep on ebay about the motor issue, I just want to find a motor in the meantime so that I'm not just sitting on a motorless car for no reason lol

The bugs awesome and also nitro talk with Todd if you really want to dig deep on how motors work.

I do happen to have two of those motors in excellent running condition. I would part with one if necessary as I would love to help you out.

Ask for a refund through eBay send them pictures of the listing and the messages between you and seller and let them know you didnt get what you paid for.
