Tamiya Blackfoot monster truck

[suvv]

so i have an original 58058 blackfoot, it was my first rc monster and i remember getting it on Christmas morning its in need of much love and would like to try and bring it back to life 

i know the servo connection is busted and to be honest i dont even know if replacements that will fit the steering arms exists also at some point stupid me fitted an esc and a pro stock 2 motor im wondering if brushless is possible if for no other reason than being able to get it to do a respectable wheelie will probably do a 2.4 ghz swap for the old rx but other than that i dont know what could be done to this i do have the original shell but any ideas or inspiration people could give me would be very much appreciated

Nice ..wishistill had mine....id strip it..clean it all up...see what needs replacing...then get on ebay....i reckon a decent  brushed motor and lipo ready esc will b the way....my 1983 frog is quite fast on a brushed motor+ 1600mh 2s lipo....

some thing like this should fit your servo .{ there are cheaper ones but this covers 3 sizes of servo }  https://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-hi-torque-servo-saver-set/rc-car-products/29788
