could someone recommend a good engine upgrade for my frog?
*Edit*
guess that's kinda like asking "how long is a piece of string"
something with a little more speed, little more torque, that doesnt cost as much as the whole car did.
I'd say 100 bucks is about as much as I'd want to spend on a motor upgrade.
In my opinion, a new brushed motor is a waste in such a great re-release
Brushless motors offer more power and zero maintenance. You need a new speed control to use them, though, it's worth it!
Castle Creations' Sidewinder Sport is a pretty good brushless motor and speed control combo. The Mamba Max is quite a bit better though for very little price difference.
I'd strongly suggest brushless, no matter what brand you choose. It's a waste to spend more than $50USD on brushed motors - brushless blows them away...
