I'll do my best...

3. I want to save a bit of cash by using my old Ko Propo radio gear, servo and receiver, but I'm unsure if they'd be compatible with an ESC equipped car? I've heard that I won't need the 4xbattery pack in the car as the 7.2v battery supplies both receiver & ESC - is this correct? If so will my old Ko Propo receiver be OK? I know I could get a new Acoms Techniplus for £35 or so, but if I can make use of the old radio gear I'd be happier, and its £35 towards the first upgrades...no extra battery pack needed. Your old stuff should be fine.
4. Chargers - can I use my old tamiya branded trickle & 15min fast charger should I decide to go the NiMh route? Or will I need a new charger? You'll need a lipo specific charger (if you go lipo - can be picked up for around £30 new for a basic one). Most morn nimh cells will not like your old charger either...
Thanks

If you're willing to splash a bit more cash there's a whole load of RTR cars available as well.
Hope that helps
