Default need ID help on new purchase...

finally getting caught up on old bills....
So Im back to looking for ebay finds to part out/trade/sell for profit.

Picked up an evader a few days ago. Normally, I wouldnt get an evader (probly my least fav stadium truck) but the deal seemed worth the chance.

It was $89 shipped. Description "says" the esc/motor are castle. Im not so sure. But it is brushless.
It says its a 3900kv, and that its waterproof?
Comes with radio. No battery...will need a servo and a body (I have both already)

I may just pull the BL system for myself, and slap a tamiya ESC/motor/servo into it and re-sell it.

Can anyone ID the ESC from the pic?

OH, I also found a stampede with a reedy BL system, spektrum dx3e radio, venom 5000mah lipo and imex b6 charger....just $120 shipped. It will need the trans gears replaced according to the seller. Not a big deal, $15 worth of parts.

Not sure if I will re-sell, or keep this one

I got the evader today.

Its a duratrax element brushless system (made by castle)
So I guess it is waterproof.
Overall the truck doesnt look to bad. The servo is toast, but radio and esc/motor seem to work. It is very slow in reverse...its like it doesnt want to go into reverse and when it does its like 1/8 power. Forward works fine tho, so i dont think its defective, just a poor setting maybe.

I might pull it and put it in my eco boat

The truck is missing rear body posts and will need a new servo. other than that, I can just slap a brushed system in it an resell it.
