Upgrading a car to a brushless motor and ESC - am I doing it right?

[RcLiker]

Hi,
I have WLtoys 12428 and I want to upgrade it to a brushless motor.
I saw in a YT video that the following motor&esc fits the car:

As I understand I also need an RC to bind to the ESC so I plan to buy this RC and receiver combo:

My questions:
1. To bind the RC to the ESC, do I need to connect it as in the picture?

2. Same for the servo? (I want to buy 12428 compatible 3 pins servo):

3. How the receiver gets its power? Is it from the 3 pins from the ESC?

4. Did I miss something? Remember I'm a noob so I don't know obvious things

Thanks all! I'm very excited to start this little project

if you go down the brushless rabit hole be prepaired to break alot of parts you can get upgraded parts for the vitara twin hammers

ya your gona need a new motor prferably sensored
a new esc brushless sensored
a new servo and radio+reciver
the upgrades will cost more than the original rig and thats before replacing broken parts
your almost better building a twin hammers right from the start and using the wltoys till you have the new rig built

The servo goes into slot 1 of the receiver. The ESC goes into slot 2 of the receiver, as shown in the picture. It's important to recognize that the servo needs to be a 3 wire servo, which I don't believe the 12428 comes with, so you'll need a new servo too. The receiver gets its power from the ESC, via the 3 wire connection that also has the control signal.

Ferp, the 12428 is a 1/12 scale truck and shares no parts with the Twin Hammers. The 10428 is the 1/10 version that does share parts with the Twin Hammers.

I have a video that covers the electronics upgrade of a 10428. My upgrade was a little bit different because I kept the original brushed motor, but I did upgrade everything else. It may be useful to you:

So apparently today the forum is being bitchy with the youtube embed code. It's always a 50/50 with this site...

What do you mean by rabbit hole?
High maintance? I actually want to drive on mud. But I plan to open the motor after each time and clean and oil it.

you will eat parts
