I wouldn't do the servos... your rustler's servos feel better due to it being MUCH lighter than that nitro.

radio and receiver. just plug the throttle and steering servo into the receiver. What I would do is use your old receiver and use the Traxxas radio and put the old radio's crystals.

if thier ofna's a am remote which it probally is, and if you want better sterring and throttle/brake control you'll need better servo's and a new radio never hurts
