Thank you both for the info. Schumacher looks to be UK, so not really worth the extra cost IMO. I guess the best play is to bite the bullet and upgrade the wheels. Then I can have a much better variety of tires available at a decent cost.

C-stamp RC10CE black stealth (my original)
A-stamp Edinger

C-stamp RC10CE black stealth (I picked this one up on ebay last week. Its never had electrics! Unscathed chassis!)
I mentioned my brother... His the naked Cadillac. My son has gotten involved as well. Hence why I grabbed a few rolling chassis' (my Edinger and Cadillac) on ebay recently.
The 3 that are rigged are running Associated SC600-BL Brushless ESC Speed Control & Reedy 3300kv Motor 540R. I may do something slightly different on the new buggy (any suggestions?), but that ESC and brushless motor setup I have so far has been more powerful than I can control. Especially on a 3S lipo battery. Planning to do bearing upgrades (wheels and trannys) on 3 of the 4 (the Edinger already has bearings). I've got a few other misc parts to replace as well... Transmission braces on the Edinger and Cadillac, Shock rebuild on my original RC10CE, upgrade to aluminum steering bell cranks on all 4, & upgrade wheels on my original RC10CE.
Edinger and Cadillac probably need tranny rebuilds. Both are slipping a good bit amount when you put the power to them. I'm sure they weren't ever intended for brushless power plants.
