I’m not sure is the Spy can handle a 3 cell lipo due to the voltage. 2 cell is 7.4 volt and a 3 cell lipo is 11.1 volt. Also getting a smaller pinion (motor) gear will help out with speed. My plans are to switch it over to brushless but I’ve ran into an issue. These cars take a 180 size motor and a 48 pitch pinion gear. I hope this helps you.
