Newbee Questions :)

[Glencmp]

Hi there, what a fantastic site ?
I've been digging here for a few days and now I can't resist a question or two ?

I've just bought an old 1/10 GS Racing Nitro what looks to be a rock crawler or maybe just a plain 4x4, as it's got big chunky wheels. It's taken me a few days to get this old girl up and running and because it's a single needle carb it's maybe not running as well as it might (well to be truthful it's running really well especially when it hits a tree!!)
So question number 1 - This car is a GS Racing, the remote is a GEWISE, so I surmise its old!! So is it possible to get spares or can bits be replaced with other makes especially for the steering etc just in case of an accident.

Question 2 - is it possible to fit a Speed Govener to this either via the remote control or on the car? As this is a present for my God son when he comes down on holiday. He has his own Electric car which is fast as hell but not in the same league as the nitro, so just to slow it down a bit for him until he gets used to it.

And last one - I want to change the carb to a 2 needle set up as it will run a little better, can this be done to the existing engine or will I need to buy a complete unit?
Thanks for any help here

All the best
Glen

@Glencmp can you post pictures of the RC without the body on? As for slowing down the truck, many radio systems allow you to dial back the throttle.
