I personally think a 7.5 turn brushless would be way too much for it. The other two options I think would work well. I'd personally try a 17.5 turn in there as I reckon the 21.5 would be a little too slow for it.

Id go mild brushless sure, the car IMO can take it for sure, it is a tank, but, just keep in mind, spares are scarce, or pricey, and the diff rebuild kits are not seen often, so melting a diff will hurt....so keep a good eye on them over the course of time, and, just avoid obstacles....TBH, i think the safest place for one is a race track, where you rarely encounter kerbs and walls LOL.

Modern 2.4ghz radio is a must too in my opinion. Really wouldn't trust using radio gear as old as the car. Last thing you want is your car running away from you due to old unreliable radio gear.

Its funny you say that Mark, i dont trust 2.4ghz lol, still got my Esprit Vantage type R 40MHZ, works like a charm, and its hard to get a stick 2.4 set up that wont break as soon as you look at it lol.....i cant use those steering wheels.......cant brake with them lol..

Stick wise I've got a Planet T5 set up that's been adapted for land use. Used and in all weathers and the handset now looks rough but works like a charm and good value too. Six channel too so ideal for my Tamiya 3 speeds. I've recently gone over to a Spektrum steerwheel set up. It did take me a while to get used to it but I've got the hang of it now.

Just as a frame of reference, for the Vintage Off Road Nationals in the U.S., 4wd buggy is allowed either a 13.5 or a 10.5 brushless. Either of those should be plenty for a vintage 4wd, and you can make up straight line speed (if you really need to) with more gearing and timing. This is actually an area where dynamic timing is useful, because you can run a lower power motor to save the diff at low speeds and then really crank it at high rpm.
