I saw in your thread you are wanting to widen your track.
The first things I would do to an SCX24:
1. New tires/wheels (watch diameter unless you don't mind trimming your body)
2. Servo
3. Steering links
4. Brass front and rear diff and steering knuckles
5. Upgraded links
6. Motor/ESC/Radio

I added to my last reply. Go back and look at it again.
But yes, your SCX24 has the ESC and Reciever in the same unit. Which is why if you replace one, you need to replace the other.
And no worries. That's what we are all here for 😉
A typical electric RC car has a radio, receiver, ESC, motor, battery, and servo. The "controller" has nothing to do with the ESC and motor, other than it controls the ESC just like it does the servo. It is a completely separate system. The "controller" you are referring to is the Radio system or...
The Furitek Lizard Pro is probably the best on the market. A couple guys here bought the Stinger setup and love it. It comes with their Python ESC

That radio will work with anything, but you will also need an ESC.
How do you lose a transmitter? 🤔🤪
You can always grab another Axial transmitter off ebay. Or wait, you will have one of the newer radio systems. The AX4 is the old transmitter. Just search ebay for your transmitter model.
You cannot buy the factory screws anywhere. Horizon is reluctant to put those out for replacment parts. I would contact them. But you can buy the Hot Racing SCX24 screws. They are different, but will do.
Anytime.
If you do want to go brushless, the Furitek stuff can't be beat. They do sell combos with the ESC, motor, and transmission, but you'd still need a radio of course.
If you have multiple RC's, or plan to buy more, you can pick up the Flysky GT3B right now for a steal on Amazon at around...
To use that motor you will need a different, brushless ESC, and a radio and receiver. If you don't want to go that far, the best option I know of is the PN Racing motor from Kenon Hobby
I used one in our Carnage build, and it is an amazing little motor. Just make sure you get it with the...
