RE: HPI Mini Recon
We upgraded to a lipo and brushless motor, both HobbyKing, and have been quite happy with it. We are in AZdesert, so brushed motors have a hard time with their open case construction. Be sure and look earlier on the thread for parts form other companies that fit since the they are rebranding a chassis that has been used by others. Way cheaper on things like gears and diffs.
