go to www.hobbyking.com

They have cheap 2.4 ghz radios, 4-ch will do but the 6-ch is computer programmable and only a few dollars extra www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9042&Product_Name=Hobby_King_2.4Ghz_6Ch_Tx_&_Rx_%28Mode_2%29

HXT900 servos are very cheap and popular www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=662

This ESC will work fine with your stock motor www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9090&Product_Name=Turnigy_20A_BRUSHED_ESC

Otherwise, go a Turnigy Plush ESC for a brushed motor, like this one www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4312
and get something like a Turnigy 28-30 outrunner motor www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=2112

The hardest part will be mounting your motor

but of course, it's all made to run off a 3S lipo. You may want to upgrade to something that will get you a bit more flight time though, I'd recommend these babies:

This was the post I followed when I bought my Turnigy brushed esc, I had no idea I needed a seperate bec nor that it wasnt lipo friendly (so all your fault dill ;D ).

Bloody hell, dillzio! $12.29 each! These run at about 20 pounds each in the UK! (But I just got 2 off evilbay for 27 inc postage!) ;D
