Thank you very much for advice everyone, it is an original easy street which I only paid ?12.50 for not something I was looking for but too much of a bargain to turn down when it was only a few miles away. From your advice Persy the old brushed motors and esc will not work with the new style lipo battery??

Skankster, the ESC and motor will run on a Lipo battery, but a 3s lipo will be too high a voltage and the brushed motor will give out lots more power, but probably not for very long before it burns out. If you want to use the originlal brushed motor and ESC than a 2s lipo will be a better match for an old 6 cell Nicd. But the low voltage cut out on your ESC will not protect you Lipo as it's designed for the older type batteries so the cut off voltage is wrong.

As Percy notes a brushless motor with a 3s battery will be more powerful and efficient.

I built a copy of this many years ago and it was able to accommodate at least a six, or it may have been eight, sub c nicad cells, so what is the problem with a tiny 2200 lipo? Subsequently fitted an OS 25LA and it transformed the model completely. It is now back to electric with an out runner and lipo, retracts fitted as well. If the new one is as good as the old you will love it, other than the silly price.
