Default Questions about new electronics

My electronics quit working in my ridgecrest so I want to buy a esc and motor combo. My question is do I need to buy a new controller or will the new electronics work with the stock controller

With the exception of "integrated" systems (ESC & RX in one box, like the stock MRC), everything else can be "mixed & matched".

You can have one brand motor connected to another brand ESC plugged into a different brand ESC with some other brand servo.

The RX & TX typically need to be the same brand as well as a few other specs (AM, FM, 2.4ghz, signal type....).

I run either a hacked GT3B or Futaba 3PM-x radio with either a Castle ESC or FX-R, Br00d or Holmes motor (brushed) and HiTec servo.
