I'd do a search for online or local hobby shops in your area.

Like Budro Kemp said you don't have to replace anything even if you put in a 55 turn motor.
But let's be realistic the stock ESC in WK can't be described without unprintable words, so I will not.
Changing spur and/or pionion will add to crawling capabilities of your truck and a new battery will add (f/r)un time but
will require a new charger as the stock charger is only slightly better than the stock ESC.
I have bought stuff from Apex Models in Crowthorne (pm for url) nice little shop and helpful staff.
Or you can try to locate a copy of "Radio Control Car RACER" and go through the ads and buyersguide to locate a hobbyshop near you.

Hope this is of somehelp,
yours

That's what I got and I love it! Worth the $$$ in my opinion.

I think I know you from chatting on YouTube, Bruzer. I'm BCK1970 on there. Your Land Rover is looking good!

It may be worth it to get it from the US. It's only $110 from towerhobbies and shipping to the UK is $25. Then you have to pay import taxes, but it's still a lot cheaper than the £95 that modelsport wants for it. (£95 = $188 )

I use a Dynamite Vision Peak 2 charger. Its relatively cheap and works great for NiMH and NiCd batts, it can charge up to 4 amps. It's a decent economical unit if you don't need a lipo charger.

This one.

Although now I have a Traxxas Slash on order, and I'd love to run an 8 cell, but the Vision Peak 2 only charges up to 7 cells. :-(
