Are you planning on running it stock? I would also go with a 45T-55T lathe motor. You'll get much better run time. Depends on if you want a basher or a crawler. That ESC says 18-36 turn motor so you would have to get a different ESC to run a lathe motor. I run a Novak XRS and it's about the same price as the XTRA. Same BEC which really isn't much. But will be fine for 1 servo. You'll more BEC's if you want to run 4WS.

get a Moped ESC ,it's $40 and a Axiom55T lathe for $25 it's cheaper .

Well the main problem here is that I'm on vacations in L.A and i got to return to Mexico this Sunday so i don't have any time to order online. I need to get everything on a store near my location. That also have everything in stock so i can pickup all i would need.

If anyone can provide me some links to stores near L.A to check out what i can get.

Tires, can't forget better tires. The stock ones will work for a bit, but you will want to upgrade at some point, just keep them in mind if you want to get stuff now.

If they have a smaller pinion that will work with the TLT spur I would recommend looking into that as well, they are reasonably cheap.
