as for the decoder, go to your local hobby shop and see what they say.

Great hobby shop, was just there today.

I would recommend a TCS T1, plugs right in, runs very well. The SW1500 has a Mashima motor, so it runs quite well. Hiawatha Hobbies sells these as well; if you ask, they might install it for you, if you would like.
