Default Newcomer advice needed!

Hi all

My son and me are looking to get into racing and I am looking for a few bits of advice to help get us started.

I purchased a second hand tc02 evo (US spec) for £70 of ebay, the car is in absolutely imaculate condition and I was very pleased with it when it came. It has a sensorless brushless 12t motor and 60A esc which I assume will get us going.

I have read pages and pages of this great forum and it has made me wonder if I was perhaps a bit hasty in my purchase. I am from Mansfield so there is a great little club 2 streets away from me that is a carpet track, the evo is apparently setup for carpet but everything I have read on these forums suggests that my car is a bit dated and the rear motor setup isn't really suited to running on carpet.

So my question is really where do I go from here:
do I ditch the car and maybe get a durango 210?
do I get the mid motor conversion kit for my car? (anybody know where the best place to get this from?)
If I get the mid motor conversion will my car esentially become a tc02c?

I'm really new to all this so be gentle with me.
