R/c Traxxas rustler radio control lots of questions answer any you can!?

So im starting to finally undestand all the teminology (haver never studied electronics) but still have some questions some general and others involving the car im intnding to get!


Ok so here we go..


1. what is ESC?


2. Is a traxxas vxl worth it? what restrictions would a brushlss motor give me?


3. could i buy a vxl shell and fit it on a stock traxxas rustler?


4. After buying a normal rustler if eventually i wanted to could I mod it to a vxl by buying the parts separately?


5. And FINALLY what is mAh in terms of batteries? do batteries determine the speed or just the endurance of a rc car?





I am starting out at this so simple terms or even bette explanation of terms =] will rate first informative answer best answer!


Cy if your there your answer is much appreciated =)R/c Traxxas rustler radio control lots of questions answer any you can!?
1. electronic speed control what the battery's and motor hook to the throttle





2. Yes very nice truggy and you would really have no limit with a brush less motor





3. yes you can you may need to buy longer risers the pins that the body sits on





4. you can but you will spend more money doing it that way after market parts start to add up fast





5. mAh Millie amps they do not make it go faster it is the amount of time you will get to run the motor at a good speed 3300-4200 would be great the more mAh the longer it will run and with a brush less motor use a lipo battery they will give you a better run time and they are lighter
