Cheers Jonny! I should have mentioned that I couldn't find the radio transitter so I will need a new one. I may go for a spectrum of some kind that can bind with a couple more RC buggys which i hope to build. I also should have mentioned that the motor is a Kyosho Option House Spa model Competition motor 240 WS. Dont know about the turns but it was rapid back in the day.

Thanks again!

If you wanted to stay with 27MHz radio for originality and/or save some money, used transmitters can be had very cheaply (normally <£10). In fact I have several probably from about the right era (Jonny would be able to advise better which model that would be) - you could have one of those for the price of postage.
Having said that 2.4GHz do offer a lot of advantages.

Re ESCs, I have heard good things about these for the price: www.wheelspinmo.../i/210105/

Edit: regarding the TBLE-02 - not heard good things about that when using brushed motors.

The Super Sabres release date was October 1987 so "correct" transmitters would be the Acoms Techniplus Mk.III (square looking grey/very dark grey) or Futaba Attack (brown).

However with a build date of around 1990 it'd probably be an Acoms Techniplus Mk.V (the chrome one) or a Futaba Attack-R (again a chrome one).

I've got a Techniplus MkIII, but it's pretty knackered. Doubt it works TBH.
I've also got a Futaba Attack R (FP-T2NBR) - working, I think, but sticks are a bit bent
and a Techniplus MkV in decent nick.
Also a couple each of Techniplus Alphas and Futaba Attack T2DR. Oh and a Hobao wheel Tx.

To the Moderators and contributors to this post, thank you so much for your help. The restoration is complete....
