I'd look at the mjx hyper go instead, they are 2/3s brushless machines out of the box separate reciever and esc(look at tomley RC on YouTube he's done a bash off with them both) the radios if you change to sticks you wont be able to select power level, I was looking at the 4500kv set up for my partners from now from experience you can have too much power as they are light weight and they don't have many tuning options like the bigger ones, also they are small so easier to loose track of
