    I would echo Ed's advice as regards batteries. I generally only buy mine from Component Shop and Overlander Batteries.

    Jump, AliExpress have many suitable Escs as well, I have bought some and and am very happy with them. They do have LiPos but I would get them from a trusted supplier close to home.

    ED! Thanks so much! And yes, these are a great starting point!!!
    And in the price is on point.
    As my lipo experience is supremely limited proper ESC and electronics would be my next step. I have a line on a used boat that is in the Spartan vein (and cheap) that I may have a serious look at to pirate parts for. These links may be of huge assistance.

    Honestly, I am trying to set aside the funds for a good used Traxxas Spartan so I can yank all the running gear and put it into the Bluebird K-7. The EDF experiment is dying on the vine with that one, but a high speed prop set-up will give me the rooster tail I need to almost reach scale speeds
